| This hairstyle, in which the chignon of Marumage (rounded hair style of a married woman) was split in two and tied showing a decorative cloth, was commonly worn by wives of wealthy merchants and sometimes by unmarried women working at restaurants such as Machiai-jaya (tea house to lend seats and tables, or rooms). |
丸髷を二つに割って布を見せる要領で結うこともあって豪商夫人が結う場合が多かった他、待合茶屋などの飲食店で働く未婚女性が結う場合もある。 |
