Japanese Hairstyles: Historical Overview Part 02: Women’s Hairstyles of the Edo Period, Part 02
Hairstyle Name: Koubai Tenjin (紅梅天神) lit. “Red Plum Blossom Heavenly God”
This hairstyle is a variation of Murasaki Tenjin, which was first seen on courtesans in the pleasure quarters. This hairstyle was especially popular among courtesans of the “Koshi” rank, which is one level beneath those of the “Tayuu” rank. It eventually became popular among fashionable women outside of the pleasure quarters.
