Hair Ornaments Late Edo period,

Editor: Here we have "Hair Ornaments" by Hidenobu, housed at the Harvard Art Museums. It's a striking image, almost like a still life but with such delicate lines. What do you make of it? Curator: Well, isn't it charming? It whispers of everyday elegance, don't you think? It’s as if the artist has captured a fleeting moment of beauty, the meticulous arrangement a testament to the care lavished on personal adornment. The text itself hints at a poetic sensibility. Do you see the interplay between the objects and the calligraphy? Editor: Now that you mention it, I do. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure! Hopefully you’ll never look at an image the same way again!
