Yosifu, Preening Set, Art Print

The most attractive and important part of the Ami women's fashion is the head dress. It is the most important tool - or weapon - for women during the harvest festival. In order to defeat the competition and win the heart of the strongest warrior from the village, this head dress is key. Preparation and the wearing of the head dress cannot be taken lightly - when the women are dancing energetically they must balance this head gear, while all the time looking relaxed and without showing any feeling of unease or tension! The subject in this piece, smiling gently, uses her fingers delicately to carefully prepare her head dress, showing her hope for happiness.
