The Edo period (1603–1868) was a time of strict Neo-Confucian norms that dictated women's roles as submissive daughters, wives, and mothers, confined to the home. But was this reality truly so uniform?
In this collection, we invite you to go beyond the stereotypical image of the geisha and explore the true, multifaceted role of women in shaping Japan's cultural landscape. We will explore this by examining the life of the poet Kobayashi Issa and his relationships with women, as well as by examining the history of laws and taboos of the time (such as the famous Hakone Pass).
This book is an immersion into the private, "inner" world of Edo-period Japan. It is a story about how Japanese women lived, loved, suffered, and strove for freedom. They left a deep, though often "invisible," mark on history.
