Japanese SculptureFor two hundred years Japanese

peasant farmers have hand crafted Kokeshi, originally from spare wood, and given these

exquisite tokens of love and friendship

to family and friends.Each Kokeshi is

entirely handcrafted from Chestnut,

Dogwood, Cherry or Keyaki using skills

passed down through generations.

Each piece is specially named by

the artist who created it.

Nobunaga Oda (Head)

Nobunaga is arguably the most potent, the most fierce daimyo in the era. He started as

a daimyo of Owari county, and came to almost unify Japan.

Though, he was betrayed by one of

his lieutenants, Akechi Mitsuhide , and slain at Honjoji

temple . He is described as a

demonic figure with no mercy. He did

even destroy Enryakuji temple in Mt. Hiei , one of the religious centers of Japanese Buddhists. He also suppressed

Jodo-shin-shu Buddhism by force. On the other hand, Nobunaga is known

as a very progressive leader.

Chinese Paintings

Artist: Jing LingTitle: Lotus Flowers

The lotus flower is one of the most ancient and

deepest symbols of our planet.

The lotus flower grows in muddy water and rises above the surface to

bloom with remarkable beauty. At night the

flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again.

Untouched by the impurity, lotus symbolizes

the purity of heart and mind. The lotus flower represents long life,

health, honor and good luck.

Artist: Jing Yi MingTitle: The Landscape

of the East

Faced with the failure of the human order, learned men sought permanence within the natural world,

retreating into the mountains to find a

sanctuary from the chaos of dynastic collapse.

Painting was no longer about the description of

the visible world; it became a means of conveying the inner

landscape of the artist's heart and mind

Artist: Zhang Pin Tian Title: Zodiac Dragon

he Chinese Dragon or Oriental dragon is a mythical creature in East Asian culture with a Chinese origin. It is visualized these days as a long, scaled, snake-like creature with four legs and five claws on each (though it did not always have five claws).

The Chinese dragon is traditionally also the embodiment of the concept of Yang (male) and associated with the weather as the bringer of rain and water in an agriculturally water-driven nation. Its female counterpart is the Fennghuang (usually translated as a phoenix).
