Garter Princess & Mrs, Yoshiwara: A Sunday-Morning Budget Soap and the Arithmetic of Garter Belts
Garter Princess & Mrs is a budget Yoshiwara soapland open 10:00 to 24:00 with a garter-belt dress code, 60 minutes from ¥29,000 on its Japanese listing and ¥39,000 on its English one. I went on a Sunday morning, did the math on three price sheets and a coupon, and wrote down what the money buys.
