Geisha Theme
Geisha always wear kimono and the traditional shimada hairstyle-- a type of bun hairstyle worn by most established
geisha. There are four major types of the shimada: the taka shimada, a high bun usually worn by young, single women; the
tsubushi shimada, a more flattened bun generally worn by older women; the uiwata, a bun that is usually bound up with a
piece of colored cotton; and a style that resembles a divided peach, which is worn only by maiko, or apprentice geisha.
Geisha hairstyles are always decorated with elaborate hair-combs and hairpins (kanzashi).
