Two Hangyoku from Yokohama (1890)
“The geisha of Yokohama were divided into two main hanamachi (geisha districts), Kan-nai in the centre of the city and Kan-gai on the outskirts of the city. By 1910, there were over 3,000 geisha residing in the Kan-nai district alone.
There was also a hanamachi in the eastern suburb of Kanagawa that provided musicians and dancers for the nearby Jimpurō brothel, known as Nectarine No. 9, until it closed in 1903.” (source)
