Cotton

Japanese: かつぎ綿 - かつぎわた
Cotton

...Hagi was a kosode worn over the head to hide the face when walking outdoors, and not only women but also men wore it when it was cold and chilly, but the cotton hat also has the same meaning as the higi. It was called hitaiwata, katsugiwata, and ageboshi, and was named after the way it was worn, as in the eboshi headgear worn by men in the Middle Ages, which was made of neem silk and folded over the head. In the early modern period, when women began to wear topknots, cotton was stretched over a wooden mold and used to protect the topknot from dust, and at the time of marriage, this changed to a style that also hid the bride's face and the topknot with bunkin takashimada. ...

*Some of the terminology that refers to "Katsugiwata" is listed below.
