peach-split hairstyle; traditional Japanese hairstyle with a bun like a halved peach
A women's hairstyle popular from the late Meiji through the Taisho period, characterized by a topknot split to resemble a peach. Now mainly seen in period dramas, traditional ceremonies, or historical contexts.
In photographs from the Meiji era, women with their hair done in the peach-split style can be seen.
I saw a scene in a period drama where a bride wore the peach-split hairstyle.
From 桃 (peach) + 割れ (split, crack), referring to the bun that is split to resemble a halved peach.
