I don't know how many of them are her apprentices, but there are young people who can dress hair in traditional and historical styles. Here's one: th-cam.com/video/H61dDxNbRaU/w-d-xo.html
Both an insight into the culture represented in those paintings, and an invaluable documentation of Minami's skills and techniques. Thanks for posting this.
If this were on Buzzfeed channel, it would have got millions and millions of views. Also the age of this hairdresser made me wonder if no younger generation of Japanese likes to learn this amazing techniques.
Young people also learn traditional things Don't judge just because you saw one elderly master lol Japan is a country that retains more traditional culture than other countries. In Japan, everything from sword making to crafts and festivals has been handed down beautifully. If you worry about tradition, it's the West or your country
No lie, this reminds me of what I went through in the 90's at the beauty salon! Only it was black gel & hair spray (finger waves etc)but very similar styling techniques. Had to sleep sitting up lol. Fascinating!!!👌🏽
Looks exactly the sama, like comes out straight from a painting 😍 I hope there are younger generations who can recreate this style as well, these are such a treasure 😊
I have watched a few Chinese videos on Tang hairstyles and I have noticed the anachronistic presence of bobby pins. What Janet Stephens in her recreation of historical western hair styles makes clear is that they didn't often use pins (muchless modern bobby pins) but instead sewed the hair. I noticed in this video, the elderly ornatrix used a lot more ties than pins (as well as the hair ornaments), which seems similar to the western technique
I'm so glad that this lady is able to showcase those beautiful traditional elaborate hairstyles. I hope that artform is being passed down to the next generation 🫶🏿
Im curious after reading some historical manga... So here i am 😌 This is so interesting 😍 it must be hard for the people that time to prepare this hairstyle whoa
This is exquisite and amazing, so much talent and learning; it is an art form. This is also incredible reference material for me as an illustrator, thank you so very much!
I never really understood the appeal or the beauty of these hairstyles until I actually saw them demonstrated here. I'm familiar with them (especially the lantern lock style) from books where they're described but seeing them IRL is another thing entirely. It really is an art form to be able to transform hair like that. I hope the younger generation is paying attention to what this master is doing!
Most admirable & traditional. The simple yet complex hairstyles which haven't changed for who knows how long....now I need to grow my hair back out to proper length! One who does hair would be an understatement.....I believe hair artist would be better.
I’ve always been fascinated by the hair ornamentation/ use of Kanzashi to achieve these hairstyles. I’m absolutely shocked to realize that rather than serving as actual function - theyre merely decor and in-a-sense “faked”. You can see the decorative combs and pins not being used to secure the hair at all. But rather, the hair is secured tightly with string, which is then hidden by hair extensions IN ORDER to support/secure the combs and pins. My mind is blown. 🤯🤯🤯 It was the complete opposite of what I thought! @1:10, @3:07, and @4:23
Please tell me what all these items are called! I want to try them out on my self and others. Or come up with a variant to wear with my Furisode Kimono 👘 Is there a Set that these items are called? An instructional book with DVD/BR video? Or a school that may teach this for a price?
PRETTY SURE that the hair model is Tsunemomo, a real geisha. or Geiko (in Kyoto dialect) pretty signature eyebrow and cheek mole. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
no ... they have used hair extensions or wigs since the Heian era (it's called "Kamoji" ,as I know Sei Shonagon a famous Japanese poet used it ).... that means they have used fake hair since 1200 years ago but, people who have long with a lot of hair volume .. can use their own hair for the entire process
I always wondered how they do this, so they do add stuffings to the hair? it's not like rapunzel's hair styled, back then??? So it's difficult to remove these too? I am imagining when it's the 1st night after getting married and when women get into fights haha
these hairstyles were commonly worn by prostitutes. I actually read a long time somewhere in japanese website that has english infos that the seagull tail hairstyle(there are different variations) was so popular with prostitutes and female hostesses that regular women stopped wearing it. I feel sorry for the model that has to do all these hairstyles in one session. not only painful but damaging to the scalps.
@@Oshidorinohina No, Girls in town did these hairstyles too These hairstyles were done by samurai families and all women in general according to fashion. Some things started to become popular from courtesan, but not all
well technically it is unwashed as they only make the hairdressing once a week plus why styling they use wax to keep it in place and they must preserve it like it was done a cost of very uncomfortable sleeping. I wonder why can't they make their hair only when they must perform or entertain and not torture the poor girls. I know it's the tradition but man their neck must hurt sleeping on those wooden blocks...
LifeInPink999 I do nihongami when I am wearing kimono, and I do sleep with it on occasion, and it isn’t as bad as you might think, it does take a bit to get use to but it’s perfectly do-able. As far as the reason as to why they would always keep it styled, it’s another way to keep their hair clean and neat, it’s similar to how Europe kept their hair constantly powdered and pomade, it’s just different from our way.
Japanese loves bath as you know. Even 200Years ago in the EDO era everybody took hot bath everyday both men & women. So the problem is the opposite like we need moisture & oil. As our hair is thicker hard and dry mostly , hair will be like a hedgehog if we don’t moisture it needs oil to make it shine
What's really impressive is that Gramma who's looks 80 yr is still working and doing all those perfects hair styles
@Jay Colten jjajaja I'm just wondering why did you felt the need to say something so random here
Uhmmm..Imma guess @Jay Colten and @Cohen Allen are uh..bots..? Scam bots?

This is the TRUE Meaning and Definition of a True-

She is a 15 out of 10 !
Absolutely gorgeous hairstyles. I hope the woman hairdresser has a lot of apprentices to learn her skills and pass them on to future generations.

Wow love Edo period Japan! Ms. Minami did an amazing job recreating the amazing,complicated hairstyles!

Lovely elder,seriously not playing when it comes to hairdressing.She's the master.
This is amazing. She is in her 80s and still does intricate hairstyles like this. Truly amazing. No words 🥰😍
A glimpse into the Edo period. People many years ago were like us now, they wanted to look good and stylish.
So beautiful and the sweet Lady still doing hairstyles, so fantastic.
She’s a master
The hair dresser is soo talented all the looks were perfect and beautiful
絵で見る事はあっても実際に髪を結ってる所は見るの初めてです。綺麗ですね😃

May she live a great and happy life 😍💖
This is incredible! The skill! And it must have been a nightmare to move with such elaborate hairstyles! :O
Yeah, and they used to dance with them
Absolutely bonkers. Everyone in this video is doing a fantastic job.
Oh my goodness...Tomiko Minami is in my opinion, a National Treasure to Japan!
Her hands are very skillful. What an impressive senior lady the hairdresser is.

really cool to see the hair styles of the past in modern time.
I smh want to learn with this grandma. Im sure she have lotsss of knowledge this is so impressive i cant stop amaze with this

It looks better than the paintings in real life 😍
Fascinating

Next time I walk into the hair salon and I ask for this, my hairdresser better respond with "Say no more, fam!"

Wow… beautiful work.
These styles are incredible! Is there a place or classes I can take that describe how to do them in more detail?
Very impressive 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
does anyone know the music?
もしモデルさんが髪をすってなかったら、きっともっとカチッと完璧になってたかも。今の人は髪をすくから時代ものの髪型をしても少し髪の毛が散ってしまう気がする。
このお婆さんが亡くなった後もこう言う髪型ができる人がいて欲しいな。と言っても自分自身は伝統を残すために何かできてるわけではないけれど、まずは伝統を好きになって興味持つ事が重要かな。

True artist
Wow, perfect!
Omg i Love this !!🔥
Did ladies use to have extensions too or were they able to create these hairstyles with just hair on their heads?
I’m sure extensions did exist but mainly in china. As you can see in this video they stuff under the hair with clumps of hair to make it look thicker
You can see at 0:50
И тут пришли русские со своим прекрасным "офигеть"!)))) Мощные традиции! Я под впечатлением.
這婆婆真的是太厲害了！
Does anyone know what the background music is?
Sounds like something the Kronos Quartet would do.
did extensions exist back then , this grandma is amazing!
Fake hair (normally from a horse) and hair pieces has been around as long as elaborate hairstyling has been.
Amazing!
ok, just love this. Now, are there any videos where they are showing the details of each process, not an overview?
It’s great and all with modern tools but how did they do it back in the day?
They are the tools which the used to use; hair oils, hair sticks, hair rats (moulds) and fake hair extensions have been around for ever.
last one is Komorasaki (Hyuri) hairstyle
Super neat
Back then, did they have to sleep with their head on a cushioned wooden block for all these hairstyles as maikos still do now?
Were the original hairstyles all real hair instead of hair pieces and extensions?
no ... they have used hair extensions or wigs since the Heian era (it's called "Kamoji" ,as I know Sei Shonagon a famous Japanese poet used it ).... that means they have used fake hair since 1200 years ago
but, people who have long with a lot of hair volume .. can use their own hair for the entire process
Fantastic ❤
back then did they use extensions too??🤔🤔
Yes also in European hairstyles about 1500s onwards this was very common :)
I always wondered how they do this, so they do add stuffings to the hair? it's not like rapunzel's hair styled, back then??? So it's difficult to remove these too? I am imagining when it's the 1st night after getting married and when women get into fights haha
can anybody let me know what kind of white/black string the lady used in the video, I wanna buy some. thanks
It's called 元結(motoyui). Sumo wrestler use it too. You can buy at
水引館 (mizuhikiya) in Kyoto, japan
by on line maybe.
What do you use it for?
@@中島美奈子-j7t same as her
Whats the glue/ gel they use to hold it?
They use bintsuke wax.

They're like sculptures!
truly it was said: noblewomen are prisoners of their maids.

I think the model is the former geisha Tsunemomo!
Do you know David Bull?
And here I was complaining it's uncomfortable to sleep with a braid
Oiran had some ridiculous hairstyles. (Referencing the last style) I love it.
technically all of these hairstyle were worn by courtesans at some point, just a slightly decorated version of the first ones.
@@Oshidorinohina Oh neat! Thanks.

Great video but the music is a little bit off-putting. Also strange that european music was chosen instead of traditional Japanese
Bro thats the hair in one piece wano arc
꼭 저렇게 까지 해여하나 싶기도 하고
Those are some complicated hairstyles for sure
I'm just amazed that lady is an artist i hope that art don't dessepear

I think the oil makes it easier to style the hair so that hair doesn't go all over the place. i dunno? but you're right

It’s from a time period pple didnt want fluffy hair. They wanted structures. ‘Natural’ flowing hair is a modern invention.
Japanese loves bath as you know.
Even 200Years ago in the EDO era
