OYOGU (Swimming) by Keishi Aoyama
Ink Painting
In Japanese culture, there is an event called Children’s day on May 5th. On this day, it is customary to display carp streamers.
Carp streamers are a symbol of hope that children will, like a carp, overcome obstacles in life and achieve success. It is also said to be related to the “dragon” that appears in Chinese mythology and legends.
The idiom “Toryumon” (Climbing the dragon gate) means to overcome obstacles and achieve great success. This work is an ink painting that expresses Japanese lucky charms.
It is also decorated with gold, which is considered to be even more auspicious.
