Kaburagi said the sudden demand forced brothel operators to advertise for women who were not licensed prostitutes.
Natsue Takita, a 19-year-old Komachien worker whose relatives had been killed in the war, responded to an ad seeking an office worker. She was told the only positions available were for comfort women and was persuaded to accept the offer.
According to Kaburagi's memoirs, published in Japanese after the occupation ended in 1952, Takita jumped in front of a train a few days after the brothel started operations.
'The worst victims ... were the women who, with no previous experience, answered the ads calling for `Women of the New Japan,'' he wrote.

| Still goes on today, everywhere. Right? I guess the American military doesn't tacitly approve of prostitution around their foreign bases and seems to conduct a public campaign to keep GIs out of the brothels. |

Well, at least McArthur had the sense to interrupt that RSS business in quite a short time.
These places have always been around G.I. bases and if the local government permits prostitution then the bases don't do much to stop it just like alot of places in society.
I remember Pusan in the 80's and also Subic bay,......the bases apparently told the local officials that if they wanted to take on G.I.s as customers, there had to be a health inspection system in place. And so each bar had to have all their girls checked once a week. If a certain bar had girls with diseases then it was put off limits. These girls didn't seem to have been abducted into this business..........some were just poor but most seemed to want the easy cash.
Besides Texas street in Pusan there was another place, for local guys, called Green Street. Women were displayed in glass rooms dressed in traditional Korean dresses. Each place had a brass plaque attached to the side of the entranceway showing that is was government licensed and approved,...............foreigners wern't welcome.
Apparently now Texas street is all Russian hookers and so I would presume with the go ahead of the Korean government. I would also guess some of those girls are coerced by the mafia in Russia. |
