Although the Japanese coiffure culture almost perished except in kabuki (the traditional drama performed by male actors), period dramas, karyukai (the world of geisha), and the wedding industry, people today usually dress the new Japanese coiffure when wearing haregi (festive dress) in New Year's day and other occasions.
日本髪文化は歌舞伎、時代劇、花柳界、結婚産業以外では殆ど衰退したが現在では正月等の晴れ着の場合に新日本髪を結う場合が多い。
