School of Geisha

OIRAN - Bards in Rokugan

Far from being a mere flesh-peddler, as many may foolishly believe, Oiran are among the most cultured entertainers in the world. Instructed in the finest dance, song, and verse the cultured world has to offer, Oiran are greatly sought after and highly respected. To entertain one’s guests with Oiran is considered among the nobility to be the highest honor a host can show, as much for the quality of the entertainment as for the extraordinary cost the must be paid to the Okami, an Oiran’s benefactor. Most Oiran are brought up in the home of their Okami, called an okiya. Here they are instructed in the social arts for years until they are old enough and experienced enough to become Oiran. Occasionally, however, an experienced entertainer will swear themself to an Okami in exchange for the constant instruction that they will receive from the oOkiya. Eventually, if they are shrewd and successful enough, a Oiran may be chosen by a retiring Okami to take their place, which places the management of the Okiya in their hands, as well as the profits in their pocket.
