Licensed Quarter
Licensed Quarter was the smallest quarter of Ryoko Owari Toshi, and it covered the Teardrop Island in the middle of the River of Gold. [1] It was aso known as 'Floating World' and 'Ukiyo'. [2]
Vice Quarter[]
The first pleasure section at Ryoko Owari was located in the current Leatherworker Quarter, too close to the Noble Quarter. After the Lion invasion this area was destroyed, and the Governor legislated to conduct those activities onto Teardrop Island, where they could be more readily isolated from the rest of society. [3] The Thunder Guard ensured Teardrop Island remained as peaceful and pleasant as possible, making it the safest and most peaceful district in the city. [1]
Peculiarities[]
The business of entertainment was the only one there. Economic divisions were few, since the lowest class of establishments were restricted to the mainland, and no kajinin firemen existed. Similarly, social divisions were few, so only one neighborhood contained all the people, [4] it was not allowed leatherworkers to enter. [5]
Notable Locations[]
- The Island Wharf: everything that came to the island had to go through it. The Thunder Guard had there a standing force. [6]
- Swords Polished: any who wished to enter this quarter had to surrender his blade to be "polished". No weapons were allowed in the Floating World. [7]
- The Island Garden
