akasen
is Japanese slang and a collective term which was used to identify districts in Japan where prostitution and the sex industry flourished until 1958, specifically during the period of January 1946 through March 1958.
==Etymology==
''Akasen'' means literally "red-line". The districts were the designated regions for state-regulated prostitution. Hundreds of government-sanctioned brothels and other adult entertainment parlors were operating in these districts, with the most popular being Yoshiwara in the ''Akasen'' region in Tokyo.
Another term , literally "blue-line", was used for "non-permitted" or "non-legal" districts. In Tokyo, the area directly across the Sumida river from Yoshiwara (Tamanoi, now called Higashi Mukōjima) was a well-established ''aosen'' district; it features in some of Kafū Nagai's short stories.
''Akasen'' is often compared directly with the term red-light district in the west.〔(Amsterdam Red Light District from Goldenseed )〕 However, this does not explain why the counterpart "non-permitted districts" were called ''Aosen'' (blue-line). In practice, the Aosen and Akasen referred to the colors on municipal zoning maps that outlined brothel districts (Akasen) and "normal" entertainment districts (Aosen).
