Geisha were trained to sleep with their necks on small supports, takamakura, instead of pillows, so they could keep their complex hairstyle perfect for at least one week. To reinforce this habit, their mentors would pour rice around the base of the support. If the geisha’s head rolled off the support while she slept, rice would stick to the pomade in her hair.
