No doubt, she was once the oiran who outshone the Yoshiwara beauty crowd; a stunningly beautiful woman, from whom the current appearance she inherited.
Yet, about that Great Sword Master mother from her paternal side…
Miss Oiran's memory of this paternal mother stopped at a silhouette: wounded, filled with weapons, yet still supporting herself with a broken sword, kneeling before her wife and finally bowing her head in exhaustion and dying.
In those days, covered in bloodstains, it was really difficult to discern her appearance.
Later, when Ibuki Yuuki became the master of the Yoshiwara Flower District, she intentionally started gathering information about her father's side mother.
Her paternal mother was also a regular in Yoshiwara, a romantic in the sea of flowers, hence it wasn't difficult to find information. Soon, she obtained numerous paintings from the hands of several elderly folks on Flower Street, which were portrayed by courtesans who admired her paternal mother.
