Hello I ask wondering what is hairstyle called

Thank you

Hi there!

So, when I did a google image search, it said this website was the source: https://yamada-katsura.com/blog/1734. The website calls it 短垂髪 (町人), which translates directly to "Tan-Taregami (Chounin)," which literally means "Short hair tied behind and hanging down (townspeople)."

So this seems likely to be a pre-Edo period (pre-1603) hairstyle for the much lower classes. Certainly, someone in the Edo period can still wear this style (since it's literally a low ponytail), but it would be a sign of like intense poverty or even illness since women getting their hair done up in the Edo period would have been considered akin to basic hygiene.

Thank you for your question!
