Meshimori onnaor meshiuri onna, literally "woman serving (or selling) meal" is the Japanese term for the women who were hired by hatago inns at the shukuba (post stations) along kaidō routes in Japan during the Edo era. They were at the beginning maids servants hired by the inns, although later as traffic along the kaidō grew and competition between the inns increased, they were often engaged in prostitution.
