The Beast Known as Kotobuki - Dragon -
This piece was inspired by “A Beast called Kotobuki” by Shigemitsu Enrousai, an ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo Period. The auspicious creature that embodies the characteristics of all the animals of the Eastern zodiac has been painted by Enrousai and other ukiyo-e artists. As a motif, it resonates with the theme of “reverence, life and death, the cyclical nature of life” that feebee has expressed through her work. Various elements are entwined with one another as they rise and fall in a continuous cycle. The 12 animals of the zodiac also revolve, one animal taking center stage each year to create the calendar. *The series of "The Beast Known as Kotobuki" will be completed with 12 animals. The third animal, "Dragon" is released for 2024 coming after "Rabbit" for 2023, "Tiger" for 2022, "Ox" for 2021 and "Rat" for 2020.
