Round topknot - Marumage

Japanese: 丸髷 - まるまげ
Round topknot - Marumage

A type of hairstyle for women. It is another name for the Katsuyamamage, and was primarily a hairstyle worn by housewives. The Marumage was named after the shape of the topknot, which has a rounded mountain shape on the side, and became popular from the mid-Edo period onwards. This topknot also gave rise to new styles, such as the large Nabechomage and Gonsaimage, but with the arrival of the Rokumeikan era in the Meiji period, it was overshadowed by Western-style hairstyles. However, until before World War II, it was commonly seen in rural areas as a hairstyle worn by mothers at their daughters' weddings.

Japanese:

女性の髪形の一種。勝山髷の別称で、おもに主婦の髪形を代表するものであった。丸髷とは、髷の形が横に丸い山形をしているところから名づけられ、江戸時代中期以降盛行するようになった。この髷にも、大形の鍋町(なべちょう)髷、権妻(ごんさい)髷などの新形を生じたが、明治の鹿鳴館(ろくめいかん)時代到来とともに洋髪の束髪に押されてしまった。しかし、第二次世界大戦の前までは、農村などで、娘の婚礼のときの母親の髪形として普通にみられた。
