"An anchor lifts, a ship is leaving. He goes this time, when to return.

Far over the sea’s vast waverings one can see a going as return.

But at the sound of that anchor lifting, the night could feel her insides turn."

— An anonymous kisaeng poem from the 17th century, from "Songs of the Kisaeng: Courtesan Poetry of the Last Korean Dynasty", translated and introduced by Constantine Contogenis and Wolhee Choe

This is a more personal question, but I was hoping you could help me.

In the Clip Studio Paint asset store, there’s a 3D asset that features hair that’s only translated on the site as “oriental.”

https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=2081707

On the link given, there’s various shots of the asset from many angles.

Do you have any idea what this hairstyle could be?

Thank you for the question!

So, it looks like a hairstyle (or a rendition of one) called the Eon'jeun Meori that would have been using by gisaeng/ kisaeng during the Joseon dynasty in ancient Korea. If you scroll down the link you sent, it shows you a demo image of how a kisaeng would have styled & accessorized it.

If you need more information regarding kisaeng/ gisaeng, please feel free to read this quick overview I posted on my sideblog, Tang-Han-Wa. So, if you're looking for a hair reference for a very high ranking kisaeng/ gisaeng, then this hairstyle is perfect.

An underrated Moon Chae Won role people should know about: Jeonghyang in Painter of the Wind.

This role shows her playing gayageum and also having a unique loveline with another woman played by Moon Geun Young. She and MGY made history with this role when they became the first female-female couple to win best couple award. She was also nominated for baeksang in this role (the only other one she was nominated for is Princess’s Man).
