Nihongami: Historical Overview - Women’s Hairstyles of the Edo Period, Part 03

Historical Time Period: Mid-Edo Period - 2nd Half (1753-1789)

Hairstyle Name: Shinzo no Tsubushi Shimada (新造のつぶし島田) lit. “Shinzo-furisode’s Crushed Rice Paddy Island”

     This variation would have been the typical style for furisode-shinzo in the Yoshiwara. The red hanging ribbon would have distinguished this hairstyle as that of a prostitute and not some other young woman. 

     This hairstyle is a variation of the Shimada-mage established during the Tenpo period (1830-1844 CE) in the Edo era. It was a huge trend at that time especially between yuujo and brothel owners. There's no cushion at the root of the tail, so the tail appears to have been “crushed.” Such a style was recognized as “iki,” or chic, and considered the opposite of the “taka-shimada.”

Japanese Hairstyles: Historical Overview Part 02: Women’s Hairstyles of the Edo Period, Part 03

Hairstyle Name: Musubu-nishiki (結錦) lit. “Bound Brocade” // Yuiwata (ゆいわた) lit. “Bound Cotton”

    This hairstyle is a variation of the Tsubushi-shimada. In this style, a large twisted knot is created over the bun, which is the largest focal point at the front of the topknot. It was never worn by women of the samurai or court noble classes. It was worn by single town girls between the ages of 9-19 years old.  This hairstyle was popular with young girls until the early Meiji era (~1872) and it seems that in Kyoto it was tied until around the Meiji era 20 (~1887).
