The JÅ«-hachi-ken-jaya.
(Eighteen Tea-houses.)

The “Yoshiwara Zatsuwa� �原雜話 states that there were in Ageya-machi, besides the “Ageya� themselves, eighteen tea-houses to which persons repaired for the purpose of watching the tayū entering the various “ageya.� According to the regulations of the Yoshiwara in ancient times, the construction of tsuki-age-do (shutters which slide up into a groove above the window, like shop-shutters) in the windows of the second stories of these houses was permitted, whereas it was prohibited in any other part of the kuruwa. In the tea-houses in Naka-no-ch�, lattice work doors were used in their upper floors. It is stated that originally only the central portion of the Yoshiwara leading from Ageya-machi was called Naka-no-ch�, the other portions being named Yedo-ch� division, Ky�-machi division, etc. According to an old resident of Ageya-machi, Naka-no-ch� was formerly amalgamated with Ageya-machi owing to the number of officials being small in the former street, and about that time there was a fireman’s ensign (matoi) in existence in Ageya-machi bearing the character 中 (“Naka�), clearly showing the connection between the wards. [Nowadays the whole central street is called Naka-no-ch�—middle street—because it passes right through the centre of the enclosure.]

The “Amigasa-jaya.�
(Braided hat tea-houses.)

AMIGASA.

It is mentioned in the “Yoshiwara Taizen� (�原大全) that there were tea-houses, standing on each side of the Go-jikken-michi outside the great gate, which were known as “Amigasa-jaya� because they lent to samurai, nobles, and people who wished to conceal their identity, “amigasa� which covered the entire head, face and all.[21] These hats were usually made of rush, and being very deep looked something like inverted baskets. The twenty tea-houses are still to be seen in Go-jikken-machi, but the rush hats formerly supplied are conspicuous by their absence. In passing, it may be noted that it was a custom for these houses to lie built without second-stories facing the street.

“The “Yoshiwara Kagami� �原鑑 says:—In ancient times there were amigasa-jaya outside the great gate and visitors used to enter the Yoshiwara wearing the deep rush hats supplied by those houses. Each hat cost 100 mon (10 sen), but if the purchaser returned it on the way home the keeper of the amigasa-jaya, would exchange it for 54 mon (about 6-1�2 sen).

“These hats are no longer used, but the old name still clings to the tea-houses.�
