Emonzaka

Japanese: 衣紋坂 - えもんざか
Emonzaka
A slope between Nihonzutsumi and Daimon in Edo Shin-Yoshiwara. It was a famous spot in Shin-Yoshiwara, and was named so because all the visitors would come here to make their kimono. ※Ukiyo-zoshi, Iro-zato Sansho-kadai (1688), Vol. 2 "I naturally pay attention to my sideburns and make my shape as I walk down the kimono slope"
