Hairstyle Name: Kiri-tenjin (切り天神) lit. ”Cut Heavenly God” or Katawa-tenjin (片輪天神) lit. “One Ringed Heavenly God” or Ke-tenjin (毛天神) lit. “Heavenly God Hair”

 This hairstyle 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.
