The phoenix, a symbol of prosperity, is depicted in various paintings and books. Its image is seen in Greece and Rome, where it is said to have originated, and is even featured on a medal of Queen Elizabeth I of England. The phoenix is regarded as a symbol of immortality, life, and power in many places.
This phoenix is depicted in an oriental graphic that blends Japanese and Western styles, combining the strength needed to overcome the various challenges of today with a delicate, compassionate touch. We hope that the power of art will inspire even a little hope and power.
A cherry blossom motif is placed around the phoenix's throat. In this current climate, there may be days when you feel depressed, whine, or feel like blaming someone. The language of the cherry blossom, Japan's signature flower, is "spiritual beauty."
If we can discipline ourselves with a beautiful spirit and live our lives by connecting and cooperating, even if indirectly, we hope for a speedy recovery from the current situation and a return to our normal, everyday lives filled with smiles. In Buddhism, muddy water is sometimes likened to the hardships and difficulties of the world, and it is believed that only by overcoming such adversity can one attain enlightenment. Like a lotus flower rising majestically from the cold, dark muddy water, this design conveys the message that if you believe in yourself and don't lose sight of yourself, you will surely find the light.
