結綿 結綿島田 ゆいわた
A Japanese hairstyle ([[nihongami]]). Traditionally worn by young, unmarried women (a <i>shimada</i> hairstyle). Its literal translation is "cotton knot".

It resembles three bulbous hair buns - a strip of hair is tied multiple times vertically along the scalp, starting from the bangs. It was traditionally tied with floss silk (raw silk, similar to cotton in appearance - which gave the hairstyle its namesake).
