My #TheCompleteBritten playlists are huge, so I'm making smaller ones so you don't have to search through 100s of videos/tracks to find what you're after. I'll add them here as I go. Here's Volume 1, covering everything before 1930, on Youtube:

A Geiko (Geisha) dressed in the Genroku style, with her hair in the Shimada-mage hairstyle of the Middle Edo period (1688-1715). It is believed that the yujo (ladies of pleasure) of Shimada created the hairstyle. 1920s, Japan. Text and image via Blue Ruin 1 on Flickr

Captured in a 1920s studio portrait, this striking profile study offers a retrospective celebration of Genroku-era (1688–1715) sartorial and coiffure traditions. The subject is styled in an elaborate Shimada-mage (島田髷), a iconic hairstyle originally devised by the yūjo (courtesans) of Shimada station along the Tōkaidō during the early-to-mid Edo period, which later became one of the foundational hair forms for geisha and young women across Japan. The hair is sculpted with smooth, swept side locks (bin) and tied at the crown into a high, folded chignon secured with crisp white paper cords (motoyoi) and delicate kanzashi pins, punctuated behind the knot by coiled paper streamers. Complementing the historic coiffure is a kimono adorned with bold, large-scale Genroku-moyō—a graphic motif featuring wheel-like geometric medallions filled with dappled kanoko shibori tie-dye work, characteristic of the exuberant visual culture of the late 17th century. Through the clear, elegant contrast of 1920s studio photography, the portrait beautifully bridges early 20th-century photographic artistry with a deep reverence for classical Japanese dress history and historical pageantry.
