Japanese Hairstyles: Historical Overview Part 02: Women’s Hairstyles of the Edo Period, Part 03
Hairstyle Name: Toujin-mage (唐人髷) lit. “Chinese Topknot”
This hairstyle is a variation of momoware and was worn from the late Edo period to the Meiji. This style was introduced by the courtesans and kamuro of the Yoshiwara, although it would eventually become a common hairstyle among 12-18 year old town girls. Kamuro would use very gorgeous kanzashi, while town girls would use more frugal decorations.
Unlike momoware, this hairstyle is not closed at the top of the topknot. This way you can see the tegara at the top and bottom of the topknot. It is distinct from wareshinobu, which is created in a completely different way. With toujin-mage, kanokodome cannot be used as they are with the wareshinobu hairstyle.
