Nihongami: Hairstyles of the Karyukai - Geisha & Maiko
Historical Time Period: Mid-Edo Period - 2nd Half (1753-1789)
Hairstyle Name: Musume-Shimada (娘島田) lit. "Daughter Rice Paddy Island”
This Musume-Shimada style is derived from the more upper class style Chuu-Daka-Shimada. The lowered height of the mage give it a more free and friendly vibe compared to the more formal Chuu-Daka-Shimada and Taka-Shimada styles.
