About Tayu

From the twisted imagination of Japan's own Tokyo Jesus, comes Tayū (太夫) - a high ranking Oiran with a dark secret. In order to become an Oiran, a woman had to be educated in a range of skills, including the traditional arts of sadō (Japanese tea ceremony), ikebana (flower arranging), and calligraphy. The highest rank of Oiran was the tayū (太夫).

Sculpted by Japanese artist Tokyo Jesus, this mesmerizing and dark beauty stands at 12" tall and is cast in clear resin with pink coral and red color streaks.
