Nihongami: Hairstyles of the Karyukai - Tayuu, Shinzo & Kamuro
Historical Time Period: Mid-Edo Period - 2nd Half (1753-1789)
Hairstyle Name: Otoko Genroku (男元禄) lit. “Genroku Man”
This hairstyle is different from its sibling style, the Onna Genroku, in that the topmost gathering of hair is styled in a tall, shaku-like pattern, compared to that of the female style. These hairstyles are a reference to the loud, flamboyant gender-fluid style of fashion during the Genroku period of Japanese history, a time when men and women dressed so alike you couldn’t always tell them apart on sight.

“The one I loved…was someone on the other side.”From "Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku” comes a 1/7th scale figure of Hatsune Miku as the courtesan “Keisei Hatsune Dayu” in the kabuki play, Kuruwa Kotoba Awase Kagami held at the 2017 Niconico Chokaigi. Her kimono features a detailed pattern and embroidery, all sculpted and painted with the utmost delicacy. Translucent parts are utilized for her voluminous hair, complementing her gorgeous outfit. The emerald green butterfly that makes an appearance in the play also rests gently on her fingertip. Be sure to add the beautiful Hatsune Dayu to your collection!

May 2019: Tayuu Sakuragi (桜木) of Wachigaiya okiya in Shimabara looking radiant as per usual, along with her too cute kamuro attendants.

Hi Tanuki! i’m a fashion designer student from Argentina and me and a group of students are doing an analisis of this picture right here! Can i ask you, is this a Yoshiwara Yuujo or is this a Yoshiwara Oiran? Also, Whats the box that the kamuro is holding and the symbol that she have in her hands? There’s little to no info on the internet about this amazing but complicated obis, a few in english and nothing in spanish, sorry to bother you! Best wishes from a fashion student to another :)
Hi! I am not a specialist in old Japan red districts, but she definitely looks like an Oiran! Her finery, especially the many beko kanzashi (turtleshell hairpins) are telling 😊
Yuujo looked far more “plain”. They didn't have kamuro apprentices or otokoshu (male helpers, here holding up an umbrella) attending to them. Plus I also don't think a yuujo would have had her pictures taken like this portrait 🤔
My question would be: is she an Oiran or a Tayuu? By attire only, I'd say Oiran but I have found this same picture refering to her as Tayuu from Osaka (not Yoshiwara then?). I find it quite weird as Taiyuu hair accessories are normally different so it might be a regional variation? Could you help us @geimaiko :3?
The box (hako) is probably a wooden box draped in a pretty fukusa. It is used as a kind of handbag for the Oiran belongings. It is classier than a normal drawstring bag (kinchaku) or kago (basket, with or without drawstring bag inside - the one still used by maiko for example).
The Oiran is not holding anything in her hands ;) That big thing at her middle is her luscious obi belt!
The obi is knotted up front as it was customary for prostitutes (but beware it was also worn often this way by any women especially pre Meiji era noble women). This knot is a variation on the classic bow knot (bunko musubi) with wings laying flat to display the over-the-top obi (which must be padded to lay this straight) .
The musubi beautifully display a hagoromo pattern (a kite-like motif symbolizing a robe of feathers worn by tennin, see pic below). It is absolutely dramatic and I love it ^^
As for sources about Oiran, Tayuu, or Yuujo, they are many people here on tumblr ^^ Geimaiko, Missmyloko, or Koikishu are names coming right up to my mind, but I am sure I am forgetting many :)

Historical Time Period: Mid-Edo Period - 2nd Half (1753-1789)
Hairstyle Name: Onna Genroku (女元禄) lit. “Genroku Woman”
This hairstyle is different from its sibling style, the Otoko Genroku, in that the topmost gathering of hair is spread out in a wide, fan-like pattern, compared to that of the male style. These hairstyles are a reference to the loud, flamboyant gender-fluid style of fashion during the Genroku period of Japanese history, a time when men and women dressed so alike you couldn’t always tell them apart on sight.

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.
