Gennsai also tried to set Osaku at ease by talking that she could get remittances and letters regularly from Osato if she would work there. He told that his acquaintance, a timber merchant sought somebody to take care of his younger sister who was ill in bed. Soon after hearing this news, Gennsai approached Osaku with his proposal in regard to sending Osato to his acquaintance in Edo (now is Tokyo) for working. However, one day, Heibei died suddenly by apoplexy and their life had grown worse off day by day. Osaku, who is Gennsai’s elder sister, was living with her husband, Heibei and her seventeen years old daughter, Osato peacefully. This situation was enough to make him plot evil. Meanwhile, a crackdown on such crimes by shogunate officials had been strict, his business fell on hard times. He often extorted money from a traveler, but also commits a robbery and sometimes murdered people. In Fukagawa Kueicho (now in Tokyo), a man whose name is Gennsai was doing a rapacious business pretending to be a fortune-teller.

Another would be if she managed to be successful and clever enough that she was able to buy her own freedom. One way out of Yoshiwara was for a rich man to buy her contract from the brothel and keep her as his personal concubine. There were very few ways for a young lady to get out of the brothel due to all of her debt. The girls often had a contract to the brothel for only about five to ten years, but massive debt often kept them in the brothels their entire life. When the girl was old enough and had completed her training, she would become a courtesan herself and work her way up the ranks. If the young girl was lucky, she would become an apprentice to a high ranking courtesan. These women were often sold to the brothels by their parents at the age of about seven to twelve. The Yoshiwara was home to some 1,750 women in the 1700s, with records of some 3,000 women from all over Japan at one time. The main reason for establishing these nightless cities was the Tokugawa shogunate’s trying to prevent the nouveau riche chonin (townsmen) from political intrigue. To counter this, an order of Tokugawa Hidetada of the Tokugawa shogunate restricted prostitution to designated city districts. In the early 17th century, there was a widespread meal and female prostitution throughout the cities of Kyoto, Edo, and Osaka. Yoshiwara was a famous district in where there were many brothels for the Edo-era, present-day in Tokyo, Japan. This horror story is told about a deep-seated hatred and revenge by murdered mother and her daughter who attempted suicide because they were deceived and sold into prostitution in Yoshiwara by a bad person.
