Suberakashi refers to the Japanese elaborate Coiffure worn as part of the Juni-Hitoe, consisting of a lacquered, gold-sprinkled Comb surmounted by a gold-lacquered chrysanthemum crest.
Suberakashi is a Japanese elaborate coiffure that is traditionally worn as part of the Juni-Hitoe, a formal attire worn by Japanese court ladies during the Heian period (794-1185 AD). The term "suberakashi" literally means "slippery combing," and refers to the intricate process of creating the coiffure, which involves smoothing and arranging the hair in a specific pattern using combs and hairpins.
The suberakashi coiffure features a high, voluminous bun that is typically adorned with various hair accessories, including ornamental combs, hairpins, and silk cords. The coiffure is often complemented with a decorative ribbon or band around the forehead, and can take several hours to create.
In modern times, the suberakashi coiffure is still occasionally worn by Japanese brides and for formal events. There are also several variations of the suberakashi style, each with their own unique patterns and arrangements.
