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).
