The story
Fiction and adapted settings written by Akitsora Gaming for this title, including invented dialogue and events. This is not a historical or folklore reference. The rules and specification tables define the gameplay and math.
In an Edo hair salon the day begins with the first comb at dawn and ends with the last paper cord tied at dusk.
I. Untangling
The client sits before the mirror; the hairdresser loosens the long hair section by section and draws a fine-toothed comb from root to tip.
A touch of pomade from the counter, and the black hair catches a streak of lamplight.
II. Tying the topknot
Front, sides and back are gathered one by one, and the topknot is tied at the crown, bound round and round with a paper cord.
The number on a falling golden cord is the weight of the spin (base game ×2 to ×20).
III. The booked chairs
Gather 4 booking tags and the red curtain parts to the finishing room, one client after another. Over the next 15 spins the multiplier keeps growing (×2 to ×500).
3 more booking tags add 5 more spins.
IV. Finished
The last cord is tied; the hairdresser sets down the comb and bows to the client in the mirror — who looks back with a glossy, perfectly set topknot.
