Contract women are the "geisha"
From Chapter 10, at the Pavillion of Lord Nishida
The women at the camp were fully clothed, not veiled, and they were wearing kimonos. The woman's kimono seems narrower and particularly from the waist down, much more constrictive. The women would walk with short, graceful steps, which give them an unusual distinctive gait. The kimono, incidentally, is not allowed to the collar-girls of the "strange men" This is not surprising, of course, as they are animals.
I would later learn that these were, indeed, "contract women," who, as girls, were often sold to pleasure houses, most often by their parents. Sometimes, too, they would sell themselves to such a house to be trained in the arts of pleasure, for example, music, dancing, singing, conversation and such. As their contracts could be bought and sold they were, i n effect, slaves, but they were not thought of as such. For example they occupied an understood, accepted, and generally respected niche in their society. They were not tunicked, not branded, not collared, and so on. They were not collar-girls. Indeed, they regarded themselves, without arrogance, and with much justification, as far superior to collar-girls. They were, in their view, in a different category altogether. The collar-girl was an animal who might be put to the straw in a stable, and would not even be permitted within the refined precincts of the pleasure house. The collar-girl was ignorant of the simplest things, even the proper serving of tea, the careful, delicate,symbolic arrangements of flowers, and such. She would be of little interest to a gentleman, save for her performance of lengthy, servile labors, and her squrimings, gaspings, moanings, thrashings and beggings, perhaps back-braceleted, in his arms. Certainly the contract women knew the attractions of simple collar-girls for males, but they did not regard them as rivals. When, wearied of a world's concerns, he wished to spend a leisurely, elegant evening, gratifying his various cultivated senses, physical, intellectual, and aesthetic, his choice would not be the collar-girl, but the women trained to comfort and delight him in traditional and cultural manners. Interestingly, though I suppose there must be exceptions to this generalization, the
women of the "strange men" seem generally reconciled to the fact, and will even expect, that their males will seek gratifications beyond the walls of their own domiciles.
(when they finally collared Miss Wentworth for Lord Nishida, he ordered them to shave her head and send her to the stables.)
animals mentioned so far - sleen, larl (the larl here are trained, forest bosk, urts, tarns, tharlarion (drew the wagons for the logging business) saru - a small monkey-like creature. It's tailless.
The slaves in this book called the men "Master"
"it is regarded as a great privilege for a collar-girl to be permitted to bathe a master. Indeed, it is one of the lovely services in which a contract woman, naked beside her client in the pool, was expected to excel.
