Japanese prostitution in 1940s
Upvote:2
Sayo Masuda was sold to a geisha house to be an onsen geisha to pay for her father's medical treatment.
Geishas are not the same as prostitutes, but her job was a sexualized one. I haven't read her book, but the Wikipedia summary mentions that her virginity was sold off five times while she was an onsen geisha.
