Chigomage

Posted under Tags

I noticed, but I don't understand, why create and then remove a tag with several hundred posts without any discussion.

Note also that "hair_rings" is a much broader tag. The last post from which the "chigomage" tag was removed is post #7865405. I have no objection to assigning a "hair_rings" tag to this post, as it is indeed present here, but it's easy to see that chigomage is very different from some other forms of "hair_rings," e.g.:
post #11481633
post #8102391
post #11528180
post #11479973
post #7534357

After googling some real-life hairstyle photos and checked some posts, I think feixianji (hairstyle) and chigomage are basically visually indistinguishable (or at least most illustrations depict them indistinguishably), except one is from Chinese and the other from Japanese. If the wiki I saw is correct, the Japanese version was probably inspired by the Chinese version introduced to Japan during the Tang Dynasty, too.

Tagging a visually same thing differently based on the character's nationality(?) seems a bit silly.

I suggest at most we alias chigomage to feixianji (hairstyle)(or vice versa).
