| At a coming of age ceremony or a ceremony at the Imperial Court, women pull their fringes up and form the motodori (hair tied up on the top of the head) with a comb in the motodori, a reminiscence of the custom during the Nara period in which people tied their hair. |
成人式や宮中の儀式の際には奈良時代の結髪の風習の名残で、前髪を上げて髻を作り櫛などをさす。 |
