At Yoshiwara in Eda, Shimabara in Kyoto...

and towns along the main highways...

brothels thrived in the early 19th century

To find potential prostitutes...

brokers travelled all over the country

In some areas, local girls were auctioned...

to save the brokers time and money

These auctions were often called "Girl Markets"

Peasant Yahei's daughter. Sold for 30 ryo.

You're done

Next up. Peasant Umataro's daughter Ohema

Undress

Take them off

Open up, open the legs

She's ugly but she's got soft skin. A 30-inch bust and firm tits

and nice hips and a nice firm butt.

How much am I to bid for this 19 year old?

- 10 ryo - 15 ryo

- More - 20 ryo

How much for me?

- 10 ryo - 15 ryo

- Too cheap - 30 ryo

Shit! Only kids are left in this village

How gross!

We're starving widows. Please buy us, gentlemen

Hey, priest. Isn't there one girl worth seeing?

Brokers have come from far away, but the goods are shabby

Don't be so hasty

You've been passed over again this year. Go away!

Oshina, please

Coming

Ooh, this is a good one

Yeah, not bad

My name is Oshina. I'm 18

Certified virgin

Please bid generously

Undress, let's see your body

Now how much?

- Me, 50 ryo - 70 ryo

Hold on!

A woman's value isn't her looks

Oh? and who says so?

I'm from Edo. Yoshiwara

Name of Kichitoji

Miss, will you get down on all fours'

What are you saying?

She's from a family renowned for "it"

Look at her pedigree

Look here, priest

The higher the price is, the bigger your commission

Brokers never believe the claims of sellers. Right, Oshina?

So get down and lift your ass

Do it

I see wilted earthworms

1, 2, 3,4

28 in all

One ryo for each worm makes 28 ryo

That's what she's worth

That's ridiculous!

I won't give a penny more

I'm going home

Wait a minute

Good looks and a hole are all a whore needs. I'll pay 200

- Make it 210 - 250!

When it came to brokering for Edo's renowned Yoshiwara...

Kichitcrji was the main man

His father bought whores, and so did his father's father

He was excelling in knowing if a woman tasted good or bad

Or evaluating quality in other ways

People used to say I was the best in Japan

Nowadays big firms will buy any old bag

No matter if she's a real gem or a rock

The 12th generation broker was a troubled man

Ifichitoji's glory was now very much on the wane

300 ryo! Oshina is sold to Poofy Poof for 300 ryo

That concludes the auction for today

Wait a minute!

Put this girl up for sale

She's no good

She's a half-wit called Oshin

It's not her brain that they want

Let me see her goods

Who'd buy a half-wit?

You have strange tastes

Oshin, come up here

Can you take your Kimono off?

Yes

This is superb

A thousand earthworms

Heaps of electric jellyfish

I bid 50 ryo!

50 ryo? For this dummy?

Blacky and I have been friends since childhood

I won't go anywhere without him.

Right, Blacky?

What got Yoshiwara's top broker mixed up with this dumb-bell?

I must be losing it

What a pair they make

Uncle Kichi, who will you sell me to?

A brothel, of course

And what am I going to do there?

Look after the guests of course.

Look after the guests? I don't know how to

Yes you do. It's what men and woman do

But what is it that they do Uncle?

Explain it to me more clearly

- You really don't know? - No

Well, a prostitute sleeps with the guests

They have a lot of fun and they get paid for it

Nice job? Isn't it

So, I get to do what I like, and get paid for it. Right?

- Uncle Kichi - What?

A palanquin is coming

Kichitoji, excuse our passing

Taking a cow back to Edo?

Aren't you ashamed broker?

He bought me for 300 ryo!

300 ryo!

Hey! Keep going!

With a bull and a half-wit

as travelling companions

Kichi headed for Eda's red light district

But the girls were disciplined in Yoshiwara

A child like this would never make the grade

A half-wit like her would be better off...

working at an Inn on the highway

But Kichitoji decided to sell her to a brothel...

in the small provincial town of Shinagawa

Oshin, eh?

She's stinking up the house

100 ryo

Thanks

You sure she's a good commodity?

Trust myjudgement

I do

But I paid the asking price, I need to be sure

I guarantee it

Okuma, is the bath ready?

Yes, madam

Now, Oshin...

Wash all the dust off before I take a good look

A good look? A good look at what?

My, she's funny

Okuma, go get her cleaned up

I don't like you. Get down

Hurry up. Move your ass!

Madam, just a minute

To be honest, I must admit something

In the head department...

She's a bit thin

Thin? Going bald?

No! Not that.

Actually, she's backwards

Kichitoji, I can't believe you

Please, listen

Her body is special

it more than compensates for her weak mind

Shiny skin, firm tits and bouncy hips

Plus a thousand earthworms

Wriggling worms

I see

That body will make big money

if her brain was normal, she'd be a star in Yoshiwara

Even here, a few thousand ryo will be easy to make

100 ryo is a bargain

So, I'll have her start tonight

Really? Isn't that a bit too soon?

The earlier the better

Business is tough-these days

What a lovely dress

Now I look beautiful

Uncle Kichi was right

I ate well, now I must sleep

it's paradise on earth

Paradise, is it?

Tonight's guest is the son of a brush merchant

Because of his trade he's gentle in bed

- Nothing to be afraid of - I see

Don't refuse anything that the guest may ask

Do everything he likes, it's the key to success

Yes, I'll do what I like and get paid

Nothing could make me happier

Well, I think she'll make it big

Looks like she was born to be a prostitute

Come on

Now...

She's here. Thanks for waiting

I'm Oshin. it's my first night

Thank you for having me

Oshin, is it?

Don't be nervous. Have one

What is it?

Potatoes are my favorite

So unsexy

But if you're hungry. Go on

Eat as many as you want

You mean it? Thank you

I'm full now

Shall we start consummation?

What is consummation?

It's sleeping on the futon

Can I go to sleep now?

Yes, it's what a whore does

Oh, thank you

It's her first night but she's so natural

This... and this

Oshin, my sweet

Writhe

And writhe

Odd, she may be frigid

I don't understand

I'm excited to death

I'm dying!

Dying?

He's dying

My dear sir...

I won't be coming back!

My shoes!

You have your shoes on already

But sir...

He left

What's going on?

Oshin did something wrong

I bet she refused him

It might be too soon for her

He's probably to blame. For scolding a newcomer

Tell the next guest that she's new

- Do you think that's the problem? - Sure

It's 0shin's first time here

Be gentle with her

Very well

So, here

What is it?

A tiP

In Sumo wrestling the tip comes after the match

Wait outside!

You're huge! You look like a Sumo wrestler

That's because I am one

I'm in the 3rd rank My name is Thunder Mountain

What is a Sumo wrestler doing here?

I'm here to have a bout with you

You're having a bout with me?

That's right

I don't know how

I've never played Sumo before

But Madam said "Always let the guest have his own way"

Don't you worry

I'll teach you all the tricks inside and out

Oh, you're so kind

So, now get undressed

I don't want to, I'm shy

You can't play Sumo with clothes on

That's true, you're right

I'll take them off. Wait a minute

This ok?

Take the cloth off too

Shall we begin?

Wow, what a jolly girl

I like you!

Come and get me!

Right!

Try again

Again

Oh, what a girl

I feel dizzy

I love this

I can't wait

Oh, it tickles

Sumo is really fun

Wait for me

I'm swinging, it's wonderful

A thousand hands are touching me

It's like being on a cloud

You bring my body to life

It's an earthquake. Hurry up

Silly, how can I make this go faster?

What if the house falls down?

Shit! You're rushing me

What's wrong?

Flagging at the last minute

I hate earthquakes

It came as I was about to...

Look at my boy

He's so scared he shrunk

Pull yourself together

Playing Sumo is so much fun!

You win

Thank you very much

Mr Thunder... Mr Thunder

What on earth is happening?

I can't pull it out!

It hurts!

I just can't!

Pushing doesn't help!

Nor does pulling!

The doors are stuck too!

Wejust can't

Ochiga, what have you done?

This is very unprofessional

Madam, I'm so ashamed

I want to die

I'm the one who's ashamed

I was really into it when the wrestler fell on me

Madam, is there a reason you wanted to kill me?

No, of course not. Oh, the pain

Hold on a bit longer, I've sent for Dr Quack

How could all of this have happened?

It's a punishment!

It's a punishment for me because, I'm a whore

For me too, Lying to my Mom and buying a prostitute

Ouch!

No more whores, I swear!

Remember... you promised?

Oh, that hurts!

You would marry me when my indenture was up, didn't you?

I said I would, but not now

Goodness, it's come off

We've got big trouble Get out of the way!

Help!

I'm stuck!

You bitch!

You bastard!

Here come the three blind men,

Blind men, the moneylenders, the loan sharks

If you can't pay the interest Let us have lots of fun with your girls for free

Huh, what a bunch of sleaze bags. They heard about the virgin Oshin somewhere.

They say they can spend time with her for the interest's worth.

Toss some salt on the steps!?

Yes, ma'am!

Narrow ways, sloping ways, dark ways

And the sexy ways where even blind men open their eyes

In this way, it doesn't matter if your are blind or not.

Don't you think so?

Excuse me, maid.

We are interested in that virgin girl named Oshin.

Don't even try to fool us because we are blind.

These fingers have eyes you see!

I know, that's enough! Come on!

She here?

Yes, she is.

Is it... the virgin girl?

No doubt about that. She is as virgin as Virgin Mary.

Hey guys, what are you doing here?

I am Zato-ichi.

And I am Zato-ni

And lam Zato-san

We all came to have some good times with you tonight.

That's perfect! I was getting bored anyway. Please come in!

Yo, brother, something doesn't sound right.

Don't worry, she's about to experience the best sex she can ever have.

You three are all blind? Poor things.

Yes, sins of our fathers, indeed.

Kind words like those always make me horny!

You are all ours tonight, so show us some good times until dawn.

Sure, as long as you find me worth the time. Even beyond dawn if you wish.

Damn, something doesn't sound right.

Jeez, what a pain, let's just get started.

Oh no! what are you doing all of a suddenl? No!

Just leave it to me.

Shut up!

No!

No. . No!

Just do as I say!

No, that tickles! Please stop!

Be quiet, it will soon feel better!

You'll be get and more excited and get louder!

You'll start screaming!

I can't tell if it's tickling or feeling good. I can't take it!

Such a smooth skin!

Her waist is pretty good too.

I can't wait to check out her pussy.

She's electrifying! We hit the jackpot!

What a hairy girl!

She's got buckteethl?

Is that you Zato-san?

Zato-ichi is that you? Where the heck is that girl then?

Yeah, where is she?

Hey lchi and San! You trying to kick me out of the loop? Is that your plan?

I think it's you trying to keep the girl to yourself!

Shut up! Which one of you, Ni or San, is trying to steal the girl?

Ichi, I think it's you trying to pull one on us?

You cheat!

Your'e the cheaterl!

Madam! We got big trouble!

You are both bastards! You stole my girl!

We are disbanding this group as of now!

Let it go, you bastard!

Stop stop! You are going to get hurt!

I said stop!!!!!

I've never seen a blind men's fight! That was fun!

10 ryo, 2 bu. That's what it's cost us since you arrived.

I'm not going to ask you to pay

But I'm running a business not a charity

Unless you work seriously, I'll sell you to another house

Forgive me. I love this job

I'll sell you to another house

But I'm doing my best

I do as all the guests say

I let them do as they like

That's where you are wrong

"Let the guests have their own way"

That's what you said

And now you complain

I can't take this anymore

Honestly!

Okuma! Kikuji!

Everybody come here

What's the matter?

Teach her how to treat a guest

She doesn't know how to have sex!

How to have sex

I've changed brothels a few times

Yoshiwara to Shinjuku, now Shinagawa

My technique is better than anyone else's

I'll do it only once. Learn the physical bits

Yes

It was easy for Kikuji to cajole and lecture

With all her 15 years' experience

And even easier when it came to sex

It was much better taught by practice than by theory

As she taught her the art of love-making from East to West

As she showed her skills, Oshin began to pant

And her body was gradual/y set on fire

O-Shifl. you're amazing!!

Your body is great

Just holding you like this

Almost makes me feel faint

I haven't felt this good in years

And I've never felt like this

Open your legs

This is the main thing

Kikuji! What's wrong?

I've pins and needles all over

What happened? You scared me

That girl...

She...

Oshin, you mean?

She's unbelievable

A thousand earthworms plus heaps of electric jellyfish

I'm exhausted

Ooh, Mr Monta is here!

What a lovely suprise

Is it true you have a new girl here?

Sir, the girl has...

I can't say it out loud

A thousand earthworms?

Heaps of electric jellyfish?

And still a virgin

Really?

She's been in the business for quite a while

But all her customers have given up halfway through

- So that mean... - She hasn't had a man

If you would break her in, I'd be grateful

I'm not being vain but...

with one glance...

No woman can resist me

I'm called Glancing Monta

I know Mr Glancing Monta

I'll visit her

Show the gentlemen in

This way

Glancing Monta is a bigwig

If you fail this time, watch out

Your room is being repaired. He's in Ochiga's room

What happened to her after... 7

She's being repaired too

Mr Monta, Oshin is ready

Come in

I'm Oshin, it's my first time

So please guide me

Cut the chitchat. Come in

Mr Monta...

So, Oshin

Pour some sake

You have a pretty face

Almost too good for this house

Yes, all my guests say that

Really?

I like you

May I ask you something?

Ask anything you like

I was wondering if you have sand in your eye

Your eyes keep swivelling back and forth all the time

They look really strange

I see. My glances don't impress a half-wit

What? Did you say something?

Nothing

It's so noisy outside

It may just be Blacky getting restless

Blacky?

Yes, he's my bull

They keep a bull here?

Yes, he came with me

When I was sold to this house

His name is Blacky

Blacky, don't get restless

I have to do my work

She thinks she knows herjob

No more small talk

Here's my bigwig for you!

Wait!

No, I don't like your face!

That awful scar across it!

The scar is on my forehead

It's a wound of honor

I'll tell you how I got it

No! No!

She held him away from her so firmly

Oshin refused Glancing Manta with all her might

And this made G/ancing Manta extreme/y angry

It was true that she was afraid of his scar

But there was another reason why she refused him

The fact was, her sensuality had been aroused by a woman

And it was this that made Oshin refuse a man

Help meg

Monta tried hard to force her knees apart

Her resistance was weakening when sudden/y...

Calm him down

I hate bulls more than anything

I can't calm him down. I don't know why he's upset

He's staring at me

He's going to kill me!

Mr Monta?

Luckily bulls can't climb stairs

I beg you. Spare me

Please

Out of my way!

Mr Monta!

Quick. Get the doctor!

Pick yourself up, sir!

I'm so hungry

It's been 5 days

I'm going to starve to death

I want Uncle Kichitoji

I want to see him before I die

He's the only person...

who was ever kind to me

Here, Mr Monta

I have a reputation to protect

I have to do something

Absolutely, So do I

I can't release Oshin and keep control of my girls

I've thought of a way to pay her back

You mean... the bull?

Isn't the smell mouth-watering?

That smell is making me feel sick

I've brought her. Can I go?

Kikuji, come and join us

I'vejust already eaten

Sit down, I said

Very well, if you insist

You've lost a lot of weight my little cutie

We've cooked this especially for you

Eat up

Mmm, it's delicious

Don't be shy. Help yourself

You're suddenly so kind to me

it makes me suspicious

Don't be

The real Glancing Monta is a kind man

Come on

Eat

So, what is it?

Well, it's boar meat

Right?

That's right. It's boar meat

Now, eat

If you say so, I'll start

Ooh, it tastes so good!

Does it? That's good

Eat some more, there's plenty more

Yes, much more than I can eat

Madam, Kikuji, please join us

No. We're full, thank you

What's wrong with Kikuji?

I don't know

Maybe she's hungover

Look, you ate a lot

Serves you right

What do you mean?

Oshin, what do you think you've been eating?

It isn't boar?

Stupid

What you ate was your bull Blacky

You're lying!

Take a look in the backyard

You'll see his head out there

How cruel. You're so cruel

You shouldn't refuse a guest

Villians! you, madam

You, Mr Monta. You all are!

I can't stand it

What will you do?

I'm leaving this place!

Okuma!

Don't let her escape!

I've spent a fortune on her!

Oshin?

It's you, Oshin!

Kichitoji?

Uncle Kichitoji, it's you!

You've smartened up

And lost weight?!

Yes, I've lost weight

I haven't eaten in 3 days

You do something wrong?

No, I did nothing wrong

So why are you sleeping out here?

Well...

Look, small-town whores...

can't leave their houses

So what made you do this?

Uncle... Uncle Kichi!

So, that's what happened

Yes, that's the whole story

How cruel

Yes, it was very cruel

But you're at fault by running away

I lost my temper with them

But they won'tjust let you leave

They paid good money for you

But...

Didn't they teach you a prostitute's duties?

Kikuji undressed me and gave me a coochi-coo

- How was it? - Great, I loved the coochi-coo!

When a guest coochi-coos you, that's being a prostitute

- Isn't that a good job? - Yes, I love it!

Let's go back

I'll talk to madam

I'll ask her not to punish you

You know she's a bit simple

Forgive herjust this once

Just once?

She's let us down many times

She promised to behave and work hard

I'll pardon her because she came back on her own accord

Kichitoji, that will save you embarrassment too

Thank you, madam

But I no longer have faith in yourjudgement

Didn't you make me pay 100 ryo for this useless simpleton?

Cockeyed and greedy, you should get out of the broker business

Madam, your words cut like a knife

Oshin, apologise sincerely to madam

Yes. I'm sorry. It was all my fault

In that case I won't punish you

Thank you very much

Now, excuse me

Kichitoji, are you leaving?

Oshin

When a whore is hungry...

she doesn't eat food...

she preys on a man

She takes a big bite out of him

She takes a big bite out of him?

A whore must be determined

Understand?

Yes

And now... I'm going

Oshin, stay here

Okuma, put Oshin in the storeroom

Madam, you lied!

Idiot, lying is a madam's job

3 DAYS LATER

Learned your lesson?

Want to eat? I bet you do

I don't know what I did to be punished

Anyone who offends me gets this treatment

- Take off your clothes - Yes

Fasting hasn't made your muscles sag one bit

On the contrary, your body looks veryjuicy

- You're a man-eater - I want more!

You can eat if you sleep with me

You'll coochi-coo me? I'd love that!

Now, you sound like a proper prostitute

I'm so hungry I can hardly bear it!

- You can eat soon - Yes, I know I can eat

"Now I've got her" thought Glancing Manta

He worked his way up and down Oshin's body

From her nose to her toes to the top of her head

Manta licked, and licked and licked and licked

He licked and sucked every part of 0shin's body

Delicious

And yours... it looks delicious too

You fancy it don't you?

Yes

I can't resist it any longer!

I want to eat, so bad

My mouth is really watering

I don't mind you having a bite

Are you sure you won't mind?

I'm sure

Yes, but...

it will hurt, won't it?

I can handle it

0k then, thanks

Bitch!

Return my money!

It's fraud

This slut is a jinx!

She'sjust brought bad luck, she's ruined my business

Alright, I'll give it back Here's your 100 ryo

Take the paper

Oshin, I'm done with you!

Yes, I'll go with Uncle Kichi

I thought a half-wit might attract deviants

But this twit is a disaster, What's more she's a fraud

You keep saying "fraud" but how can she be?

She's too dumb to sleep with a man

How can she ever be a whore? She's a fraud!

Very well, madam

Let's see if Oshin is a fraud

Let's test her here and now

No matter how good 0shin's organ was...

it was useless if she couldn't sleep with a man

To keep his reputation as a whorebroker

For the sake of the world and the sake of the people

Kichitoji helped himself arouse his pestle

And knelt close to Oshin with it in hand

Listen carefully

My honor stands or falls on this moment

Kichi, do anything you want to me

Kichi, I love your smell

What a man does with what you know nothing about

I'm going to teach you

Forget that I am Kichitoji

Hold me thinking I'm a man

Can you?

Yes, yes

Are you ready?

Watch very carefully

Uncle Kichi, I feel like fainting

Hold me tight

Like this?

Just like that

Uncle, I feel ticklish

Is that your thing touching me down there?

Yes. You can feel it touching

But there's a space between us

It must be skin-tight

Even tighter than this?

Yes, a bit more

Like this?

Even more

Like this Kichi?

Madam...

What are you doing stupid?

Being old didn't seem to matter at all

He performed the 48 posistions perfectly

On the pillows of the waves rushing in and out

Then [Gchitoji realised...

That 0shins's organ felt like nothing else in the world

Like 3 million earth worms flying in the sky

And loads of sea anemones at rest

At the crucial moment

He held himself back

See?!

IGch/toji was in the lily-pond of heaven

He died a blissful death on a woman's belly

Uncle Kichi, what's the matter?

Don't stop, Uncle Kichi!

He's dead

Good grief

He's a whorebroker with no family

We'll dump his body outside town

Why did you die?

Life's too hard for me

What should I do?

Now that you are gone!

Listen, Uncle Kichi

Tell me what to do. Please

Oh, your thing is still alive!

I know, I'll use my body

to bring you back to life

Uncle Kichi, Uncle Kichi

Uncle Kichitoji

Oshin called his name but Kichitoji never replied

Her lingering love for him blew on the wind

On his face which seemed to be smiling

0shin's tears of mourning

Dropped like rain

With a red comb in her hair and a heavily made-up face

She was just a small-town prostitute

And that is how the romance of Oshin...

came to it's very unfortunate end
