Hairstyle Name: Chuu-Taka-Shimada (中高島田) lit. "Middle-High Rice Paddy Island”

   This is a Shimada topknot with a middle-to-high base for the knot. The form of this hairstyle is nearly identical in the Bunkin-Taka-Shimada, Hariuchichi, Yakko-Shimada, and Geiko-Shimada styles. It seems to have occurred in various forms since the mid-Edo period. Its elegance and dignity of form makes it one of the favorite styles of the upper classes, especially the samurai class, by the late Edo period.
