Today young girls' hairstyles such as shimada-mage, momoware (literally, split peach; female hair style in kimono that the bun is split and a red fabric woven in the center) and so on can be often seen at the weddings, programs of dance performances by students, Jidai Gyoretsu (a procession of people in historical costumes) in festivals and so on, but married women's hairstyles such as marumage, sakko, ryowa and so on are seldom to be seen except for in Kabuki (traditional performing art), Bunraku (Japanese puppet theater) and period dramas.
現代においては島田髷、桃割れ、等、娘の髪型は結婚式や舞踊発表会、祭りの時代行列等で見る機会が多いが、丸髷や先笄、両輪等の既婚女性の髪型は歌舞伎や文楽、時代劇以外では見る機会が少ない。
