Abiguity edit

Without a photo or illustration I fear this stub is lost on a mainstream non-Japanese audience, perhaps clarification, addition or deletion is in order. Jachin 05:27, 25 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

History edit

It would be nice if the "History" section explained how the hairstyle developed. The sections doesn't currently contain much information. Tad Lincoln (talk) 21:51, 22 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Helmets edit

The article first states that the hairstyle was worn out of practical reasons , to keep the helmet in place - without quoting a source for such a claim (especially since no other commonly known military class did this). Then the article goes on to state that a full head of hair was worn during the Sengoku period (where helmets were presumably worn a lot) and then became a symbol of those who were "resistant of the peace that had resulted from two centuries of civil war" - contradicting the earlier statement.
