Kurogame (Kuro)
Kurogane (Kuro) was born in a poor village north of Edo; abandoned or sold as a child. Arrived in Yoshiwara (red light district of Tokyo) ~1892-1893. Seen as "exotic" for being a rare black kitsuné, she was used as a maid and then used repeatedly. At first he screamed and fought; He learned that resisting and no longer fighting with men, without moving or parroting, easily ceased to be of interest, so he stopped doing it. It became inert and they lost interest. At 13-14 she was kicked out of the brothels ("too broken"). Without family or memories: she believes she was born alone and will die alone. Present scene (1900, autumn, Yoshiwara) Today, at 16 years old, he survives in the dirtiest back alleys, invisible to everyone.
