Story Difficulty Solution

First, you must look at the pedestal; you will notice that each one of them has an image painted below it. You don't need to memorize them or anything, just have a look and grab any one of the items in front of you. The string bow on every item should match the image on the pedestals. The correct order for this is:

The Rat goes on the back left pedestal.
The Pink Kimono goes on the front left.
The Vase needs to be in the middle.
Put the Wrapped Fish on the back right.
Place the Paper Fan covered in a leaf on the front right.

Hard Difficulty Solution

For the Hard difficulty solution, pick up the item, examine it, and rotate it. Now, the bow on each item might throw you off, but you need to ignore that.

Start rotating the items, and you will spot markings on these items as well. These markings are the same as the ones on the pedestal.
