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.

Ministers of the Left/Right groupings! Sort of.

The O.G. Ministers of the Left and Right.

Higekuro (”Black Beard” bottom right in the images above), who becomes Minister of the Right and also Regent to the Kinjo Emperor.

Kobai (”Red Plum Blossoms” bottom left), who is temporarily Minister of the Right in Chapter 44 Takegawa (”Bamboo River”), which is likely one of a number of continuity errors in that part of the story.

Yugiri (”Evening Mist” bottom centre), who is MInister of the Right througout the Uji Chapters, except for that time in Chapter 44 where he’s suddenly the Minister of the Left, and then Minister of the Right again. Continuity is hard.
