An actress portraying an Oiran in an Oiran procession reenactment. Oiran were high class courtesans, much like the Tayuu, except instead of being in Kyoto, Oiran were found in Tokyo. The way Oiran dealt with their business was much more elaborate and a much bigger procession to meet her clients than that of a Tayuu. To my understanding, in the old days they used their natural hair, but today, the actresses wear heavy wigs, which is understandable. You can still see Oiran processions today as well as reenactments in small theaters.
