Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever. Not so fast, I'd say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.
Anyway, you still use Lorem Ipsum and rightly so, as it will always have a place in the web workers toolbox, as things happen, not always the way you like it, not always in the preferred order.

Description
Vintage PostCard Netsuke – A Woman Doing Her Hair
Introduction
This exquisite Vintage PostCard Netsuke depicts a woman doing her hair, crafted in the 19th century. Made from ivory with intricate carving, engraving, and mother-of-pearl inlay, this netsuke stands at 3.8 cm tall.

Artistic Influence and Style
Few Japanese netsuke capture the everyday life of city dwellers with such beauty and grace. The emphasis on earthly beauty, characteristic features of the characters, and decorative elements in these works show the influence of classical Japanese engravings and ukiyo-e painting on miniature plastic art. This particular netsuke, possibly inspired by Kitagawa Utamaro’s female images that embodied the Japanese ideal of female beauty, depicts a woman at a mirror doing her hair.
Depiction of Women in Netsuke
Women in netsuke are less emotional and more grounded compared to other forms of art. The masters focused on their real, earthly appearance and everyday activities. Despite this, there is a notable aspiration for formal elegance and refined decorativeness. The master of this netsuke introduced engraved ornamentation and mother-of-pearl coloring, making it a preferred accessory for young townspeople.
