English: A hand-coloured book plate of a miko ( Japanese Shinto priestess/shamaness ) in ceremonial dress. Date of lithograph 1895–1900. A cropped form of an image (released to public domain) of a double page spread from an (unnamed) work on Japanese culture and religion held in the Rijksmuseum. Original, uncropped image created by Wikimedia Commons user Mr. Nostalgic at 10:18, 3 January 2020. Image cropped to show illustration in larger format, in order to show miko’s ceremonial hat more clearly—this is of the type called, in Japanese, "torikabuto" (bird/phoenix hat). The hat shown here is a rather plain example of the type: in more elaborate examples it is apparent that the very top of the hat depicts the head of the phoenix (Japanese "hōō") while the lower parts of the headdress depict the down-swept wings and tail of the mythological bird.
