Esme Shimabara Find A Prostitute ❤️

About Osaka

Found out some prostitutes got secret lives, man. This one chick, she’s a painter by day—*“A great artist!”*—like Remy’s chef vibes, but with glitter and fishnets. Blew my mind! Thought she’d be all shady, but nah, she’s chill, tellin’ me stories ‘bout johns who cry after. Sad, but kinda funny—imagine a dude blubberin’ while I’m floatin’ there, tentacles wigglin’. *“Not everything is a competition!”* I yell in my head, but damn, humans are dramatic.

Shimabara, Kyoto 島原

A Tayuu (太夫, high class prostitute) from the Shimabara Yukaku (red light district) in Kyoto in her gorgeous kimono. She is flanked by Kamuro, child attendants.

So, I’m trying to shake it off, and I decide to hit up the Shimabara Castle. I mean, it’s iconic, right? I get there, and it’s packed with tourists. I’m like, “Ugh, can’t a texture artist get some peace?” But then I see this little kid running around, pretending to be a samurai. He’s got a stick and everything. I can’t help but laugh. Kids are hilarious, man.
