Japanese Hairstyles: Historical Overview Part 02: Women’s Hairstyles of the Edo Period, Part 03
Hairstyle Name: Kago-Shimada (かご島田) lit. “Basket Island Rice Paddy”
This hairstyle is a tayuu variation of the Oshun hairstyle, which itself is a variation of the Wari-Shimada hairstyle. To distinguish it from the Oshun style, there are four details to notice. First, a red kanoko is wrapped around the roots of the topknot with the tails hanging down. Second, the tie that holds the hair bridge down to the topknot is left undecorated. Third, the silver motoyui is tied upside down with the tails pointing upward and protruding out from the topknot. Lastly, this style features a kougai through the root of the topknot.
