Daar wordt ze de protg van Shinonome, de hoogst geplaatste courtisane die haar de skills entecnieken leert om een oiran te worden.

In het jaar 1903 wordt de 15-jaar oude Aoi Ichi verkocht aan een bordeel in Kumamoto. Daar wordt ze de protégé van Shinonome, de hoogst geplaatste courtisane die haar de skills entecnieken leert om een oiran te worden.

Maar haar leergierigheid rijkt verder dan de kunst van het verleiden en terwijl ze leert lezen en schrijven ontwikkelt ze een stem die weigert zich te onderwerpen aan de rigide hiërarchie binnen het bordeel.

Binnen de beperkte wereld van het red-light district groeien de geruchten over stakingen van lokale arbeiders en Ichi en haar mede-courtisanen verenigen zich om hun bordeel op zijn knieën te krijgen.

Deze roman over de sterke band tussen vrouwen en de kracht daarvan is gebaseerd op ware gebeurtenissen.

Kiyoko Murata heeft al meerdere prestigieuze literatuurprijzen in Japan in de wacht gesleept, waaronder de Akutagawa literatuurprijs. Haar roman Nabe no Naka is in 1991 verfilmd onder de naam Rhapsody in August door Akira Kurosawa.  A Women of Pleasure is haar eerste roman die in het Engels is vertaald. Murata woont in Fukuoka.

De vertaler van deze roman is Juliet Winters Carpenter, zeer gewaardeerd om haar vertalingen van Japanse romans. Ze woont in de staat Washington.

Effective!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This works wonders for our baby’s eczema! He had several rough patches on his arms, legs and cheeks and so far everything has cleared up except his arms, they will occasionally flare up but the cream helps soothe and reduce redness within a couple hours. It’s also a nice hand lotion for me, lol

Good face cream

Works well! Cream is on the lighter side and easy to apply. Love the tube design makes it easy to use and keeps the cream clean. Fragrance free and will last a long time. Great product!

Works great for babies with Eczema and i even found myself as an adult using it as well. Its not super greasy feeling and its definitely a thicker cream.

Perfect for Tiny Hands
Color: Carrot
These have been a game changer for teaching our toddler how to eat more independently. The size is perfect for tiny hands and the quality is great. We have multiple sets and they have all held up without issue in the dishwasher.

Wonderful!
Color: Bees
I am so impressed with these! They are not too big, not too small, and sturdy! The first fork and spoon my 17 month old son was able to use as intended! I’ve tried a few different silicone baby spoons and forks (some of similar style, and some with longer handles and smaller mouth pieces) and none worked for my son to use on his own with success, unless what he was eating could easily stick itself to the spoon (like oatmeal or yogurt). The handles of these are short enough for him to direct, the mouthpiece is small enough to fit his little mouth, and sturdy enough to pick up his food. He can scoop and skewer most foods and eat without using his hands! I could not recommend enough!
