"Exquisite Japanese Hairstyles: A Study on the Perfect 'Watajubo' and 'Tsuno Kakushi' for Brides in Traditional Wedding Attire"

Too Beautiful "Wa-Gami" (Japanese Hairstyle) ♡

As a Japanese person, there's a desire to wear a white 'mukuwak' or a colorful 'iro-uchikake' at least once * When adorned in such luxurious traditional attire, Japanese hair is incredibly popular among brides who are having a wedding with Japanese style ♡

There Are "Wata-boshi" and "Tuno-kakushi" ♡

Did you know that Japanese hair actually comes in two variations: "wata-boshi" and "tuno-kakushi"? Both have wonderful meanings and charms ♩ Which one would you like to choose?

Introducing "Wata-boshi" ♡

First, let’s introduce the hairstyle of 'wata-boshi' * The cotton hat spread across the nation from the Muromachi period to the Edo period, initially worn for warmth when women went out, gradually became a bridal headpiece ♡

The Feature Is Its Big and Round Shape ♡

The most notable feature of the wata-boshi is its large and round design ♡ It's popular as it’s a cute yet modest headpiece, perfect for a pure bride ♩

The wata-boshi is said to also have a face-slimming effect, made by thinly stretching raw silk into a round or boat shape * When worn slightly deeper, it allows just a glimpse of the bride's face when she bows, creating a charming and lovely atmosphere ♡

The Uniqueness That Only Matches With "Muku" ♡

Wata-boshi is a very special hairstyle that can only be paired with a white 'muku.'

It symbolizes the meaning of "the bride not showing her face to anyone but the groom until the ceremony is over," representing freshness and modesty ♡

Introducing "Tuno-kakushi" ♡

The tuno-kakushi is a cloth wrapped around a Japanese-style high bun known as 'Bunkin Takashimada' ♡ By attaching hairpins to it, it creates a dignified atmosphere of Japanese hair ♩

Versatility to Match With "Muku" and "Iro-uchikake" ♩

Unlike the wata-boshi, the tuno-kakushi can be combined with most bridal Japanese attire, such as white 'muku,' 'iro-uchikake,' and black 'furisode,' offering many uses ♩

When viewed from the back, you can admire the tuno-kakushi, the bride's neat hairstyle, beautiful hairpins, and the elegant nape of the neck, making it delightful to look at ♩ Guests will surely be enchanted ♡

Meaning of Following Her Husband for a Lifetime ♡

Additionally, the tuno-kakushi carries the meaning of becoming a gentle and obedient wife by hiding the horns, which symbolize anger *

Making it a symbol of determination to support her husband for a lifetime is also wonderful ♡

Various Types of Hairpins ♡

The hairpins used with tuno-kakushi are made from luxurious materials such as silk threads, and their designs range from auspicious cranes to adorable flowers ♩

Here is a tortoiseshell hairpin ♡ The delicate patterns of the high-class hairpin paired with the cute red and white ribbon in the center is delightful *

Experience the Beauty of Japanese Hair for Yourself ♡

How was it? * Overflowing with modesty, which do you prefer: the 'wata-boshi' or the vibrant 'tuno-kakushi'? ♡
