Ooi coastal world of the geisha history - the history and origin of coastal areas Oomori restaurant business
Ooi restaurant business area and go left towards the station from the east coast Oomori Oomori Yahata street.
Takehisa Yumeji loved land.


　From the current landscape of the Gulf and lined with apartments and shopping mall type tower may be hard to imagine the city, past the east coast of Shinagawa distant Boso Mountains, south of Mount Fuji Hedate Tamagawa clear stream, North view from Mt to beach clean water to live in comfort crab shrimp and small fish, and shellfish gathering when making soup because it could not always enough to make time if you go to sea, sea seems to have been blessed with all the locals. Taking advantage of this scenic geographical advantage, since the Meiji period of several red-light district was formed. Oomori coast (then known as coastal land Yahata), showing a lively area with the development of the railway, after the Meiji Restoration was a teahouse from the ancient shrine Toriimae 磐井 restaurant becomes, begins as a history of Geisha. There seems to trigger the opening of the beach.
　1891 Coast Oomori known as resort spring and clamming (1891) around, I opened a beach, and resort popular with assistance of good transport links, predicted the development of this land The wealthy in 1893 (1883) May, on land adjacent to the bridge Yawata "Ise Hazime" that opened a restaurant. In 1894 that in addition to the spring sprung in the land boom of the juggernaut that the Sino-Japanese War, "Young fish," "Shallow Pine" "Yahata tower" and waiting, the other in a restaurant near the beach shrine Ibe Iwao and open. Around 1898 a little late appearance in the form of a restaurant, shop geisha house "three wheel" is opened (after the "Young family" annexed.) After the Russo-Japanese War "House carp" (1906), "ya Sunrise" (40 years R), "House 初鰹" (1943 R), "House Tatibana" (1944 R), such as the red-light district later in this started operations one after another leading geisha house. "Carp family," central to the "union shop geisha Coast" is well organized, that goes a Geisha is formed. In the course of these days, this place, "Coast Oomori," geisha obsession "Geisha Coast" is now called. Uchikawa to your destination in southern Ōmorichō Geisha, and the northern limit of the town 浜川 Ooi, as was our relatively widespread.　
　However, the geisha house 1932 (1932) moved to the landfill in a group in 3-chome Higashishinagawa. Moving ahead, "Shinagawa Co. Coast restaurant business" organization, built a restaurant business areas. At this time, the earth has developed a great restaurant business, moved all over geisha house had 26 houses, a designated area of a teahouse opened Masu Hashi Higashishinagawa waiting for 20 new houses.
　Your road to a wide range of geishas is dotted with restaurants as well, an area designated as a place in two places restaurant business, was present. While the southern end of Shinagawa, ie adjacent to the [coast] [Ooi] Oomori, and [the other] Oomori coast was established in the land readjustment in the southern coastal city [Oomori Shinti Shinchi] and [] place was called. [Ooi] are not clear about the details, obviously [the coast] and Oomori sphere of influence of the substrate surface seems to be of red-light district was built on the Meiji Period. At that time the restaurant business as a land readjustment unusually clean, may be imagined given the district after the fact. Kogawa Nirou the "[location] Oomori coast and in the Purse Araichō [Ooi] and red-light district into one virtually Isuzu Kino (omission) which was later separated into two red-light district around the sand bath to the development" has developed a theory that the (red-light district [56] from the Greater Tokyo.)
　The other is [1924] Oomori Shinti (1924), emerging red-light district that was the first to start business in the geisha house in December. Existed from early Meiji Ooi Guide and the coast Oomori], emerging and [Oomori Shinti] In addition, in the late Taisho was crowded with spa [Qi Ke Mori] they are born red-light district a new well Masu. Originally geisha is not, in the banquet, "says my mentor," They say that it was called, according to the development of the hotel's spa-like waiting area of the neighborhood, Taisyou 11 (1922) has been organized in May, union geisha house or.
　Shinagawa coast Taisho period, Ooi, Beach Ohmori, Oomori Shinti, Qi Ke Mori, until 穴守 was formed around the shrine 穴守稲荷 Haneda Furthermore, the scenery was now difficult to even imagine Geisha . At its peak nearly 400 enrolled geisha, daylight flows from the sound of the shamisen, a geisha was a bustling city.
　The pier and quay Tsuranaru Shibaura Island population from Haneda Airport Keihin runs parallel to the first north-south, Keikyu, monorail, or highway, or form the fault is located as if it were a huge structure of the landscape surrounding traffic Omori. If you know the history of the city still has a small shop and the house drinks like Red Light 落Ta would suddenly stop the feet, are scattered here and there's still Ooi.

Also, I find it interesting that they clarify WHERE the term for an apprentice is "maiko" in Japan:

Around Osaka, Kyoto and Nara in the Kansai region of the geisha (Geiko), a maiko apprentice (Maiko) is called. Yamagata, Niigata, Ishikawa and also is this designation. How to call different things, there is a reason that is different origins.
