A type of hair ornament from the Nara period. It is mentioned in the section on formal attire for imperial princesses in the Taiho Code's Clothing Code, and the Ryo no Gige states that it is called a Takamage because the hair cord is decorated with gold jewels. In other words, it is the equivalent of men's formal attire. Openwork metal fittings studded with jewels and featuring dragons, phoenixes, and kirins are decorated on top of the topknot. In the Heian period, a knot-like topknot was made on top of hanging hair and was also called a Takamage.

奈良時代における髪飾りの一種。大宝令(たいほうりょう)の衣服令の内親王礼服(らいふく)の条に記され、これを『令義解(りょうのぎげ)』では、金玉をもって髪緒を飾るゆえに宝髻というとある。つまり男の礼服に相当するものである。宝石をちりばめた透彫りをした金具に、竜、鳳(ほう)、麒麟(きりん)を立物(たてもの)としたものを髻(もとどり)の上に飾る。平安時代には垂髪の上にこぶのような髷(まげ)をつくり、これに釵子(さいし)をしたものをも宝髻とよんだ。 [遠藤 武] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
