Like what is this? Japanese?

This is the so-called based parade. In the Edo era, geisha and vagrant girls with the highest status were called "flower heads". Flower heads are not only beautiful in appearance, but also highly cultivated in culture. They are good at traditional skills such as music, tea ceremony, floral art, poetry, calligraphy and dance, which can be described as both talent and color.

The round trip of the Chief Executive to the teahouse to meet regular customers is called "the midway of the Chief Executive's road". At the front of the procession is a man carrying a lantern with a design specially designed for the Chief Executive, followed by two girls doing odd jobs for the Chief Executive, holding supplies, followed by the Chief Executive wearing heavy clothes and clogs five to six inches high, followed by several girls who haven't had time to meet customers, bodyguards and others.

Extended data:

On April 9, 20 16, local time in Japan, at the "One-Leaf Cherry Blossom Festival" in Asakusa, Tokyo 14, Japan, the upward journey of the geisha Huakui Street in the Yoshihara-Huakui Road was reproduced. ?

The event was held around Qianshu Street and Komatsu Bridge Street in Asakusa Back Street, Tokyo, and this area is located in Yoshihara, the famous Lou Qing Street in Liu Hua during the Edo period (1603-1867).

Based on the parade, he wore about 20 kilograms of clothes and extremely heavy clogs, so there is a proverb that "based on the parade, he walked slower than the ox cart". Yoshihara's flower head is mainly "outside the eight characters". It is said that this pedaling method will take two or three years to practice.
