Chapter 361 Swordsman, Oiran, Ninja【7200 words】(2/3)
The two little girls had their hair pulled into Shimada buns and were dressed in gorgeous costumes.
Both Koi Yu Furisode Shinzo, who is a candidate for the oiran, and the oiran himself, all have thick white makeup on their faces.
The reason why white makeup is so popular is because there were no various lighting effects like modern ones during ancient performances, and in many cases there was only dim candlelight lighting.
If you perform in a dark environment without any makeup, your face will look sallow, and it will also be difficult for people to see your facial features.
So Bai Tu Zhuang, who paints his face white, came into being.
After painting your face white, your visual appearance and performance in a dark environment will be greatly improved.
It happens to be evening now.
In this slightly dim environment, the white makeup on the faces of these girls does not look scary, but feels just right, and can well outline the beautiful facial features of these girls.
The woman walking behind the two bald men is the only oiran in Yoshiwara now - Fuchi Taifu.
After focusing on Fuchi Taifu, the first impression that Fuzu Taifu brought to Ogata was - heavy.
It's not that Fuchi Taifu has a plump figure and looks very heavy. Although there is not much exposed skin, Ogata can still see through Fuzu Taifu's fat and thin cheeks that she must be a person with a very slender figure.
The reason why the first word that came to Ogata's mind after seeing Fubell Taifu was "heavy" is because what Fubell Taifu was wearing, on his head, and on his feet all looked quite heavy.
As candidates for the oiran, Bald and Furisode Shinzao were all dressed in gorgeous clothes.
But compared with those worn by the oiran, the costumes they wore really pale into insignificance.
If you told Ogata that the clothes on Fuchi Taifu were heavier than the armor, Ogata wouldn't be surprised at all.
Because the clothes worn by Feng Ling Taifu are many and thick, layered one on top of another, their thickness can even compete with cotton quilts.
In addition to the body, Fu Chime Taifu's head also looks quite heavy.
The hairstyle Fu Chime Taifu currently wears is a bun with a lot of accessories that Ogata can't name.
According to Ogata's visual inspection, the number of these accessories should be more than 10 pieces.
There are so many accessories, which seem heavy.
In addition to these accessories on his head, the wooden clogs on Mr. Wind Chime's feet also look very heavy.
Mrs. Feng Chime's white and tender feet without socks are stepping on a pair of three-toothed wooden clogs of astonishing height.
According to Ogata's visual inspection, the height of this pair of clogs should be about 30 centimeters.
According to Ogata's visual inspection, Fubell Taifu's height is probably over 1.6 meters and less than 1.65 meters. Among women of this era, he is considered a very tall person.
With a height of 1.6 meters, coupled with the 30 centimeter-high wooden clogs, Taifu Fuzu's height is almost 2 meters, and he can look down on Ogata, who is only 1.7 meters tall.
Because the pair of wooden clogs on Fubell Taifu's feet were so conspicuous, A-machi, who was standing next to Ogata, couldn't help but said in a surprised tone:
"What's with those clogs?"
"The name of that pair of clogs is 'Three-piece Shoe.'" Gua Sheng said lightly, "They are the clogs used exclusively by courtesans."
"It looks so heavy..." Amachi muttered, "And what the hell is the oiran's move like? It's so grinding..."
Wind Chime Taifu doesn't walk like a normal person.
Instead, when walking, step your feet out to the outside of the body first, draw a semicircle, and then land in front of the body.
Just walking forward slowly and leisurely.
"This footwork is called the 'Foreign Eight-Character Step'." Gua Sheng continued, "It is a very elegant footwork. It usually takes 2 or 3 years of practice to master the 'Foreign Eight-Character Step'."
"...Is this footwork very elegant?" Azing looked suspiciously up and down at Fuchi Taifu, who was slowly walking forward with very grinding steps, trying to find "elegance" in Fuchi Taifu.
Although he didn't have a deep understanding of Yoshiwara and the culture of the oiran, Ogata had heard about the special pair of clogs used by the oiran.
According to what Ogata had heard, each of the special pair of clogs used by the oiran weighed about 5 kilograms.
That is to say, the oiran must wear a pair of shoes weighing more than 10 kilograms to walk to the Yangwu, and then have to walk from the Yangwu back to the maid's house.
——It’s really hard work...
Ogata couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Because Gaihachimonji's footwork was really difficult, it took a while before Fuzuki Taifu finally reached Ogata's field of vision.
After Fuchi Taifu came to Ogata, Ogata was finally able to look at Fuzu Taifu's appearance more carefully and more conveniently.
If Ogata had to use some words to describe the appearance of Fuchi Taifu... Fuzu Taifu is like a bonfire burning in the dark night.
And the bald, furisode, and fantouxinzaos around her were like moths flying around the campfire.
As that conspicuous fire, Feng Chime Taifu naturally attracted the attention of everyone around him.
Even Ogata, who comes from modern times and holds modern aesthetics, still thinks Fuchi Taifu is beautiful.
The beauty of Fengchi Taifu is not only the beauty of appearance, but also the beauty of temperament.
Wind Chime Taifu exudes a special aura.
Intelligence is mixed with a bit of grace and elegance.
This special aura emanates from Mr. Feng Ling's eyebrows and from the slightly raised corners of his mouth that look like a smile but not a smile.
The appearance of the Wind Chime Taifu can be regarded as the highlight of this "Oiran Road".
After the Wind Chime Taifu appeared, all kinds of screams came one after another from the crowd of onlookers on both sides of the street.
After Fuchi Taifu walked to the front of Ogata's field of vision, the men around Ogata instantly became excited.
"What a beauty!"
"It's finally here!"
"Feng Chime Taifu! You are so beautiful!"
"Wind Chime Taifu! This way! Please look at me!"
…
Shouting similar to this kept ringing around Ogata, making Ogata's eardrums hurt.
Ogata even saw a man not far away with a fanatical look on his face who was about to rush into Fuzu Taifu's team, but he was stopped in time by an officer from the Shirobei Club next to him.
Ogata couldn't help but sigh - no matter what era we are in, there are ardent fans of such stars.
Ogata was playing around, but he didn't expect that there was a fan of Fuchi Taifu behind him.
"Wind Chime Master! Wind Chime Master! Wind Chime Master!"
The fanatic fan didn't shout out the rest of the words, but kept shouting "Wind Chime Taifu".
And the fanatical behavior of this fanatic fan still has some effect.
Fuzu Taifu, who happened to be in front of Ogata, was attracted by the enthusiastic behavior of this fanatical fan and squinted his eyes to the right.
He glanced at the fanatical fan with a slanted gaze and then looked back.
When he looked back, Fu Chime Taifu's eyes naturally glanced at Ogata.
After glancing at Ogata by the way, Fuchi Taifu completely retracted his gaze and continued to walk forward without squinting.
Although it was only a glance, it was enough to drive these ardent fans crazy.
"Wind Chime Taifu is looking at me!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! What Mr. Feng Chime was looking at just now was clearly me!"
…
"Na."
While these fanatic fans around Ogata were noisy, Atachi poked Ogata next to him with his elbow, and then asked Ogata in a joking but serious tone:
"Aren't you going to yell along with these people?"
Ogata, who was leisurely inserting his hands into Haori's sleeves, smiled and shrugged after hearing Amachi's question:
"If the person who is walking slowly in the middle of the street with a foreign step is you, I might yell like a madman, Mr. Wind Chime will not make me lose my temper like this."
After saying that, Ogata took his hands out of his sleeves.
"Let's go, A-Xing. Let's go back."
The grand Oiran Daozhong has witnessed it with his own eyes.
Ogata has also witnessed the oiran's majestic appearance.
There is no reason to stay in Yoshiwara anymore, Ogata already wants to finish watching and leave Yoshiwara.
However, as soon as Ogata said "Let's go back", a loud shout suddenly rang out from the street opposite.
"As expected of an oiran! She is so beautiful!!"
Because the shout was so loud that it directly overwhelmed the shouts of everyone around him, causing everyone around him, including Mr. Feng Chime, to focus on the person who made the shout.
The person who shouted this was a young man with a wakizashi stuck in his waist.
Mr. Feng Chime turned around, blinked his eyes with long eyelashes, and gave the young man with a loud voice a calm look.
The emotion contained in those eyes is difficult to grasp.
