This book traces the social history of early modern Japan's sex
trade, from its beginnings in seventeenth-century cities to its
apotheosis in the nineteenth-century countryside. Drawing on legal
codes, diaries, town registers, petitions, and criminal records, it
describes how the work of "selling women" transformed communities
across the archipelago. By focusing on the social implications of
prostitutes' economic behavior, this study offers a new
understanding of how and why women who work in the sex trade are
marginalized. It also demonstrates how the patriarchal order of the
early modern state was undermined by the emergence of the market
economy, which changed the places of women in their households and
the realm at large.
