Put a modern twist on traditional Japanese hair styles.

BOW DOWN
The obi (kimono belt)
can be tied in the shape
of a bow, and is called
washikusa musubi. This
makes the perfect hair
style for a shopping
afternoon. Throw on
a flirty sun dress and a
pair of ballet flats, and
you’re all set for a fun
day out with the girls!

Japanese samurai
warriors wore their
hair tied back into
ponytails or a top
knot. Wear your hair
pulled back into a
sleek high ponytail
and rock a bold lip
colour for a chic look.
PANASONIC SPECIAL
GO, GO, GEISHA
Thin sticks or rods called
kanzashi were considered
to have mystical powers.
They were placed in
a geisha’s hair to inform
the audience of her status.
Wear two hair sticks
in your bun to add a
little Oriental flavour
to your get-up.
