This is part of the main entry about
. Doing Business in Edo - 江戸の商売 .
Many tea stalls had a little side business :
. fuuzoku, fûzoku 風俗 Fuzoku, entertainment and sex business .
fuuzoku 風俗 refers to the manners and customs, and in a wider sense in Edo to the flourishing sex business.
Under the unauspicious name of "tea stall", a lot of extra entertaiment was available in Edo.
Along the public roads to the countryside, there were many chaya for travellers to rest.

Eight Fashionable Views of Edo:
Vespers Bedmate at Ueno / Ueno no Bansho
Suzuki Harunobu
a couple entwined while enjoying the view of water lilies on Shinobazu pond from the second story window of a teahouse at Ueno
The poem is a parody associated with Mii no bansho (Vespers [or Evening] Bell at Mii), which is one of the Omi Hakkei (Eight Views of Omi), a popular visual parody based on the classic Chinese theme Eight Views of the Xiao and the Xiang.
A poem found on a Harunobu chuban from circa 1768 (Waterhouse, no. 316) shifts the 'Evening Bell' from Miidera to Ueno:
kono yama no koro machietaru hana sakari yoso ni wa tsuke yo
On this holy hill
we waited for the season
of the flower blossom:
sound your doleful note elsewhere
vespers bell of Ueno!
The poem on this shunga print also places the bell in Ueno but in a further erotic parody of the theme. The phrase 'iriai no kana' is replaced with 'ireai no ane'; and 'sho' for concubine replaces 'sho' for bell. The poem explains the young man is on his yadosagari, the annual break given to the samurai for home leave which was granted for a few days in the 3rd month and was typically either spent at home or at an inn. The Shinobazu Pond at Ueno was well-known for its lotus and for the deai-chaya (meeting tea-houses) which had rooms overlooking the pond.
kono hodo mo sazo tsutaetaru yadosagari yoban tsuzukete ireai no ane
This is the extent
to which he as passed it on
during his home leave:
four times in succession he
joined with the elder sister!

Nihon Embankment, Yoshiwara - Yoshiwara Nihonzutsumi
The mile-long Nihon Embankment, constructed in 1620, was the final stage in the journey of visitors to the Yoshiwara licensed pleasure quarter (yûkaku), which was situated among rice paddies to the north of the city. The Yoshiwara was moved here after a fire in 1657 at its original location near the centre of Edo. The roofs of the Yoshiwara can be seen at the end of the embankment beyond the 'Looking-back Willow' (Mikaeri Yanagi) which was situated at the top of the slope leading to the main gate; here parting guests would pause to take a lingering 'look back' at dawn, before making the trip back along the embankment.
Utagawa Hiroshige
Arriving by boat, or by foot through the theatre district, the visitor would hire a palanquin carried by bearers for the journey along the embankment, or would go on foot, concealing his identity beneath a dark hood, with cheek cover (hôkammuri-zukin).
The route was lined with over 100 teahouses (hikite-chaya) where clients could make advance arrangements with the particular brothel advertised on the red lantern hanging outside.

Mizu-shōbai (水商売), or the water trade,
is the traditional euphemism for the night-time entertainment business in Japan, provided by hostess or snack bars, bars, and cabarets. Kabuki-chō in Shinjuku, Tokyo is Japan's most famous area where one can patronize the water trade, as well as its more carnal counterpart fūzoku (風俗)—the sex industry composed of soaplands, pink salons, health, and image clubs.
While the actual origin of the term mizu-shōbai is debatable, it is likely the term came into use during the Tokugawa shogunate (1603–1868). The Tokugawa period saw the development of large bathhouses and an expansive network of roadside inns offering hot baths and sexual release, as well as the expansion of geisha districts and courtesan quarters in cities and towns throughout the country. Bearing relation to ukiyo (浮世 and 憂世), or "the floating world", mizu-shōbai is a metaphor for floating, drinking and impermanence..
According to one theory proposed by the Nihon Gogen Daijiten, the term comes from the Japanese expression
"Gain or loss is a matter of chance" (勝負は水物だ shōbu wa mizumono da), where literal meaning of the phrase "matter of chance", mizumono (水物), is "matter of water".
In the entertainment business, income depends on a large number of fickle factors like popularity among customers, the weather, the state of the economy, and success and failure change as rapidly as a flow of water.
The Nihon Zokugo Daijiten, on the other hand, notes that the term may derive from the expression doromizu-kagyō (泥水稼業), lit. "muddy water earning business", for earning a living in the red-light districts, or from the Edo-era expression mizuchaya (水茶屋) for a public teahouse.
