At the old entrance gate to the Yoshiwara quarters 吉原大門 was a weeping willow tree, where visitors stopped after a visit and sighed.

Utagawa Kunisada 歌川国貞 (1786-1864)
- quote
- - - customers, who visited a red-light district, used to stop around it and look back at the district with reluctance on their way home.
Around the Ichiyo Memorial Hall, there are shrines, temples and a lot that was once Shin-yoshiwara, which are settings of "Take-kurabe".
"Model of Tamagiku Toro"
(created by Hiroshi Miura, right) -- 玉菊灯篭 "Tamagiku Toro" was an event in Nakano-machi, which comforted the spirit of "Tamagiku," a courtesan at a bordello "Nakamanji-ya" in Shinyoshiwara Sumi-cho. Teahouses on both sides of the street placed this lantern in front of their houses. Tamagiku is said to have had both wit and beauty, and have been good at tea ceremony, flower arrangement, popular linked verse and koto music.
She died at the age of 25 in 1726.
