OIRAN 花魁 — Flower of Yoshiwara (Melancholic Jazz Hip Hop) | 浮世ビート | WAGAKU BEAT

"Ancient tales, reborn in modern beats. 花魁 (Oiran) — the highest courtesans of Edo's Yoshiwara. Masters of poetry, tea and calligraphy, they could refuse any man they found unworthy, no matter his wealth, and paraded the streets in the famous oiran-dochu on towering geta, crowned with eighteen golden hairpins. Yet behind the splendour they were sold into that world, unable to pass the great gate — birds in a gilded cage. WAGAKU BEAT reawakens the legend as elegant melancholic jazz hip hop — sensual shamisen and smoky sax over brushed boom bap. 花魁、吉原の華。籠の中でも誇り高く。 🎧 EN/JP subtitles on.
