Sarah Yoshii Whore ❤️❤️

About Kyoto

First off, “whore” comes from Old English, “hōre,” meanin’ prostitute, but it’s morphed, twisted, and flipped into somethin’ wilder. Back in the day – think medieval times – it was a job title, no kiddin’! Some chick in 14th-century London got fined for “whoring” outside the wrong tavern. Historians dug that up, and I’m like, “Girl, get your hustle straight!” Fast forward, and it’s a weapon – slung at anyone who dares step outta line. Makes me mad as hell – who decides that? Not me, not you, but damn society’s got opinions.

ETC Yoshii’s tracks

Established in , Yoshiwara was one of three licensed and well-known red-light districts created during the early 17th century by the Tokugawa shogunate.

After that, I decide to hit up the Yoshii Art Museum. It’s a small gem, but the exhibits are always on point. I’m wandering around, soaking in the vibes, when I see this insane installation. It’s like a giant wave made of recycled materials. I’m standing there, totally blown away, when this kid runs by and knocks over a sculpture. I’m like, “Noooo!” But the artist just laughs it off. I guess that’s art, right?
