Japanese: 多良間の豊年祭（1976年5月4日　宮古郡多良間村　多良間村民俗芸能保存会）
English: As it resembles Katsuyama mage (a hair style with combs and pins) in its rounded ending, some people say that it is the original of Katsuyama mage.
Japanese: 髷の部分を丸く仕立てる部分が似ているため勝山髷の原型という説もある。
English: The himegimis of samurais wore Fukiwa while court ladies normally wore a flat mage called tabo (a part of hair extended backward from the back of the head) no tsubuichi (apprentice court lady's hair style) and participated in big events wearing the osuberakashi (a traditional coiffure for Shinto priestesses, with the hair gathered so as to hang down from the back of the head).
Japanese: 武家の姫ならこの吹輪を結うが、公家の姫君の方は普段は平たいたぼのつぶいちと呼ばれる髷を結い大きな行事にはおすべらかしで挑んだ。
English: Also, the mage called 'Katsuyama' which is worn by Maiko (Japanese dancing girls in and around Kyoto) during the fixed period (around July 10 to 24) of Gion Festival is almost in the same shape as this 'fukiwa' except the absence of loose hair.
Japanese: なお、京都の舞妓が祇園祭の間の一定期間（7月10日頃～24日）にのみ結う「勝山」と呼ばれる髷は後れ毛のない点を除けばほぼこの「吹輪」と同形である。
English: The hair style itself is the same as that of Katsuyama mage with the widened ring except the tussocks of loose hair purposely hung right and left and called 'aikyo ke' (winsome hair), but its characteristics are a wide variety of hair ornamentations with a flavor of Mankanshoku (be fully dressed; be dressed overall) and their varietyand gorgeousness..
Japanese: 結い方自体は「愛嬌毛」と言われるわざと左右にたらした後れ毛の房を除いて勝山髷の輪が広くなったものと変わらないが、特徴的なのは満艦飾といった赴きさえある多種多様な髪飾りの多さと豪華さである。
English: A metal kanzashi (an ornamental hairpin) with elaborate workmanship called 'ryoten kanzashi' was inserted into the mage, and an ornament shaped like a musical instrument called 'Tsuzumi' (hand drum) was put inside the mage to be combined for forming a shape (this may not be used) and red nishiki (brocade) was attached at the base.
Japanese: 髷には「両天簪」といわれる豪華な細工がある金属の簪を挿し、髷の中には「鼓」と言われる楽器の鼓の形をした装飾品で髷の整形を兼ね（使用しないこともある）、根元には赤地錦などをくくりつけた。
English: Attached to maegami (cornered forelocks) are somegami (dyed paper) containing gold leaf, etc., a kanzashi, which hangs tiny metal pieces with chains, called birabira-kanzasi (kanzashi with ornament hanging) on the both sides, and a hair ornament decorated with large metal artificial flowers called 'hime-sashi' which princesses wear in dramas.
Japanese: 前髪には金箔などを漉き入れた染め紙、左右にびらびら簪という金属の小片を鎖で下げた簪に、「姫挿し」といわれる芝居の姫の役などに見られる大きな金属の造花を飾りつけた髪飾りを装着する。
English: However, it is said that the gorgeous decoration and 'loose hair' are arrangements for plays and dramas, and actual ladies of samurai families were modest, wearing only silverwork/tortoiseshell work combs and Kogai (one of hair ornaments for women in the Edo period).
Japanese: ただし、華やかな装飾や「後れ毛」は芝居・舞台用のアレンジであり、実際の武家の姫君は銀・べっこう細工の櫛・こうがい等のみで地味であったといわれる。
English: Even today a role of princess in a period drama, Kabuki and Jidai Gyoretsu (a procession of people in historical costumes) in a festival wears a fukiwa wig and so we can see something which is comparatively close to the real one.
Japanese: 現代でも時代劇や歌舞伎、祭りの時代行列の姫役は吹輪のカツラをかぶるので、比較的現物に近いものを見ることができる。
