Yoshiwara: City of the Senses
Yoshiwara: City of the Senses
Stephen and Ethel Longstreet
1970
Yoshiwara was for centuries the section of Tokyo famed as its pleasure center. There, behind moated walls, an erotic world unmatched in the West was created by beautiful courtesans, geishas, dancers, and actors.
Stephen and Ethel Longstreet have for many years collected material on Yoshiwara, which came to an end in the early years of this century. In this book they re-create that world of beauty and love and passion.
