Sakuran: Blossoms Wild

Kiyoha may wear the similar fancy kimono-dresses but she is not your everyday geisha. The hairstyle may be the same and she may have some of the finest clientele comparable to those of the most refined women in all of Kyoto but she is not in the home of geisha and their maiko assistants. Instead Kiyoha is in Yoshiwara the infamous red-light district located in northeast Tokyo. And instead of being a respected geisha artisan she is an oiran a courtesan. Kiyoha didnt choose this life. She was forced into this world at an early age for one reason...she had spunk. A fire burned within her as a child. She would rather fight than cry and she would always fight if ever put at risk. She caused her caretakers so much grief their best solution was to give her a purpose to be strong and maybe a chance to develop a life on her own. But getting to that point would take years of heartache and misery. Kiyohas entire life has been in chaos and she has blossomed in it.
