In this episode we head to a can't miss area of Tokyo

Modal verbs - B1

Tokyo may be one of the world's most advanced cities but here

the central Asakusa area with SENSOJI temple

The historical home of Tokyo's pleasure quarters

We start right here at Asakusa's most famous

SENSOJI and over here this Skytree the newest addition to the Tokyo skyline

and to help me out with this report is Grigoris

I had a thing for  Japan since I was a kid

I think Asakusa is a lot more than just SENSOJI

It actually is. Well, for the most part it's SENSOJI temple

It's been the actual focus for 1.5 millennial

well, the Yoshiwara was the pleasure culture

They were several houses and it's house has it on its own

Prostitutes and courtesans .Well they were..

They were artists, they were entertainers,  and they were all kinds of things

The first thing we notice are the white faces

GEISHAs were strictly entertainers skilled in song

She's wrapped in many elaborately colored layers of silk

Her hair is decorated with all sorts of ornaments

Top OIRAN were skilled in all forms a art

From behind you can see just how elaborate

Grigoris had more amazing  facts to  tell us about OIRAN

its top courtesans, top  OIRAN in street s of YOSHIWARA

in the EDO period were like the movie stars

They were pretty expensive. Freakishly expensive actually
