The Origin of Japanese Street Patrol

During the Edo period, geisha and traveling girls with the highest level (top card) were called flower heads. Huakui not only has a good appearance, but also has a high cultural accomplishment. She is good at music, tea ceremony, flower pattern, poetry, calligraphy, dance and other traditional skills, and she is brilliant and colorful. The walking distance between Huakui and the tea shop that welcomes male guests is called Huakui Road, which is the Huakui Parade.

In the procession, at the front of the procession is a man carrying a lantern, with a pattern (similar to a family pattern) specially printed for the chief, followed by two bald girls (referring to the little girl who helped the chief at the age of 10 in the tour introduction), holding the chief's supplies. Then there are flower-based women, wearing heavy clothes and clogs five to six inches high, followed by several new creations (girls older than baldness but unable to receive guests), bodyguards and others.

There is a saying that based on the fact that he wears clothes of about 20 kg and has extremely heavy clogs, he walks slower than an ox cart. The walking method is divided into inner eight characters and outer eight characters, and Yoshihara Kui's character is mainly outer eight characters.

Huakui Road was preserved as a popular cultural landscape in the Edo period because of its rich folk characteristics. On Huakui Road, there is a travel ceremony for senior prostitute Huakui. Floats clear the way, surrounded by attendants, and the scene is luxurious.
