專家說明
In Japan, hozuki (red lantern plant) is believed to have sacred energy. Often displayed with ceremonial utensils as obon festival offerings, the plant serves to guide the souls of the dead and lead ways for ancestors to return home.
Since the Heian period (794–1185), the butterfly, emblem of spiritual power, has been an important motif in Japanese art. The brocade wrappers for a set of twelfth-century Buddhist sutras dedicated by Retired Emperor Toba (r. 1107–23) to Jingo-ji are applied with butterfly-shaped metal bosses. In China, the words for butterfly, hu die, are homophonic with multiple characters with auspicious meanings of blessings, good wealth and longevity.
Born in 1952, Jinbo Miyabi was trained under his father, a wood sculptor specialized in single-block technique (ichiboku-zukuri). Widely presented in solo and group exhibitions in Japan, Jinbo is not only acclaimed for his extraordinary wood carving skills, but also accredited as a coloring expert.
