I’m reading Vagabond and noticed that the samurai who are learning swordsmanship at a dojo will have this hairstyle, so is it just to show that they are students st a dojo?

      Thanks! That’s really interesting, I didn’t expect that. The media probably throws that in cuz it is kinda the stereotypical hairstyle for old school samurai.

      I’ll add that the shaved top of the head helped them stay cool in battle while wearing the aforementioned helmets.
