PRODUCT DETAILS
Description
An authoritative and richly illustrated guide to over 35 auspicious animals – called ‘zuiju’ - in Chinese and Japanese culture. Discover the symbolism and artistic importance of the phoenix, dragon, lion, crane, turtle, tapir, elephant, cat, dog, pigeon, fox, and even mythological creatures, such as the ‘bai ze’ and mermaids. Illustrated throughout with over 240 details from woodblock prints, decorative screens, hanging scrolls, and sculpture, the expert text explores the meaning of each creature and how it came to be associated with good luck, long life and prosperity. From ancient Confucian thought and zodiac-animals; to exotic creatures from around the world which came to fascinate Japan in the 18th and 19th centuries. Translated into English from the original Japanese, the book features dual Japanese and English-text.
