江え戸ど芸げい者しゃ

noun

Edo geisha

Archaic term for a geisha who lived and worked inside Edo proper, as opposed to those in the outlying red-light districts. Now a historical reference.

• 江え戸ど芸げい者しゃは、吉よし原わらなどの遊ゆう郭かくではなく、江え戸どの市し中ちゅうで活かつ動どうしていた。

  Edo geisha worked in the city of Edo itself, not in the Yoshiwara or other red-light districts.
