{{Era|Individuals}}
'''Saburoemon Hara''' was a [[Japan]]ese brothel owner, active during the reign of samurai [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]].<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 7: Kyoto: Japan's Imperial City</ref>

Saburoemon's main claim to fame was the establishment of the {{Wiki|Shimabara, Kyoto|pleasure quarters}} in [[Kyoto]], having suggested to Hideyoshi to gather the [[courtesan]]s in particular places, rather than leaving the then-chaotic state of sex work alone. These pleasure quarters allowed for more security to the workers and for taxing of the services, which Saburoemon paid to Hideyoshi.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 07"/>
