Japanese Hairstyles: Historical Overview Part 02: Women’s Hairstyles of the Edo Period, Part 01

Hairstyle Name: Utsubo Genroku Shimada (うつぼ元禄島田) lit. “Quivered Island Rice Field of the Genroku Period (1688-1704)”

    This is a variation of the original shimada-mage hairstyle, which was said to have first been created by a yuujo in Shimada city in Shizuoka prefecture. It then evolved into the single most popular hairstyle for women in the Edo period. This version was common among maids/ court ladies of the Tokugawa Shogunate (a.k.a. the O-oku) during the Genroku period. The large and exaggerated topknot keeps its shape with the use of flexible materials.
