日本で遊女という職業が誕生したのはいつ頃
In the early stages of Japanese history, there were female entertainers: "Saburuko" (serving girls) were mostly wandering girls whose families were displaced from struggles in the late 600s. Some of these "saburuko" girls sold sexual services, while others with a better education made a living by entertaining at high-class social gatherings. After the imperial court moved the capital to Heian-kyō (Kyoto) in 794 the conditions that would form geisha culture began to emerge, as it became the home of a beauty-obsessed elite. Skilled female performers, such as Shirabyōshi dancers, thrived.
