Greetings
It's midsummer, and it's time to miss the sea and mountains.
How are you all doing?I'm Miyamura from the marketing department.
Well, I took a brush because the blog relay came around.
So what should I write about...
In the first place, I don't know anything about mistress culture, starting with papa katsu, I think
I tried to find out if it would be a story, so I will tell you about sharing.
When I looked into it, around the Edo period"Surround me"The culture seems to be flourishing...
Mistress/concubine culture in the Edo period
Various sources generally include:
“In the Edo period, it was rather admired for a man to take care of a woman other than his wife.
That is, "Surround me"that is
It is proof that the man is making the family business prosperous.

Did dating companies exist in the Edo period?
"There is a company called 'Kuchiiriya,' which is engaged in the mediation and dispatch of concubines.

It seems that he went on a leisurely “one-person road”.”
Somehow, it is surprising because it seems that a living business similar to modern dating clubs already existed.
There are many descriptions that support women's dreams and the path to entertainment culture.
So far, the roots of "papa katsu" were in the late Edo period! ?What an imagination.

・Having a concubine was recognized by both parents and wife
・A mistress who is officially recognized by his wife, and a “concubine” who was given a separate house
・Was my concubine recognized as a sole proprietor? !
There are lots of interesting historical facts when you unravel it...

The word [papa katsu] originated from Universe Club.
Although it is recognized now, I think that it is often used in a vulgar sense.
Our company may be at the stage of aiming for a step above the culture of “papa katsu”.
Like the Edo period when it was at its height of prosperity, someday dating will become a social status.
I will push forward until I regain my meaning (suddenly serious face)
