If he went to a terakoya, would they make him cut his hair?
Maybe not; I suspect the uniforms and dress codes would've started out only in the public schools, though I could be wrong.
This is a terribly roundabout set of directions, but the site doesn't like direct links-- if you go here (http://oldphoto.lb.nagasaki-u.ac.jp/en/), click on "Category or Keyword" in the control bar, and then select "Child" in the "Person" category and run a search, way down near the bottom there's a photo labelled "ID: 4999, Title: Children playing in a small schoolyard". It's from a terakoya in 1904, and the kids still seem to be in traditional dress, though rhe resolution isn't good enough to pick out much more detail than that. There're probably some other useful photos in the lot, but a lot of them don't have any date attached and could be from before the Restoration.
