Hairstyles: Historical Overview Part 02: Women’s Hairstyles of the Edo Period, Part 02
Hairstyle Name: Omatagaeshi (おまたがえし) lit. “Phonetic Person Name”
This hairstyle is an elegant blend of two styles: the Utsuo Sakikougai and the Katsuyama. This hairstyle is similar to Osafune, with the difference that the topknot is slightly lower, as expected of an older mature lady. This style would be worn by a young aristocrat, such as the wife of a shogun or a high-ranking samurai. She would have worn this immediately after marriage and before her first pregnancy.
