Japanese Hairstyles: Historical Overview Part 02: Women’s Hairstyles of the Edo Period, Part 03
Hairstyle Name: Darumagaeshi (だるまがえし) lit. “Returning Daruma”
This hairstyle is simple to wear. After the maegami and bin are formed, the remaining hair is looped around the kanoko and pinned to the top of the head with a single tama-kanzashi. The shape formed by the hair, when since directly from behind, was said to resemble the shape of daruma. It was commonly worn by “women of the world” (suijin, 粋人) and rough-and-tumble working-class middle-aged women from the late Edo to the Meiji period.
