If you go to Kyoto and see geisha, their hairstyle is usually the Shimada-ryu style. One leading theory says that Shimada-ryu originated here in Shimada, Shizuoka Prefecture.

In memory of this haristyle, a group of beauticians and hairdressers in Shimada hold this annual festival where they don the Shimada-ryu hairstyle (usually with their real hair) and dance in yukata.

When you see geishain Kyoto, etc., they usually wear a wig. But at this festival, you can see most women using their real hair in the Shimada-ryu style.

It's pretty easy to tell if it's a wig, with thicker hair strands and bulkier hair. Real hair are pretty thin in comparison. Although Japanese women's hair might've been thicker in the old days.

I wonder how much it costs to make your this way in a beauty salon in Shimada. That is, if your hair were long enough.

I wonder if 7-year-old girls in Shimada have their hair done in Shimada-ryu for shichi-go-san.

They now proceed to Oi Shrine to dance there. The festival also has a thanksgiving prayer at the shrine in honor of the Shimada-ryu hairstyle. Unfortunately, I had to leave Shimada and could not see it.
