Zodiac-Ryu(dragon)

As the year of 2023 draws to a fulfilling close, we will be saying goodbye to the cute Rabbit. We are excited to welcome the auspicious arrival of the year of the Dragon! In the last few months, we were have received numerous queries regarding the new sculpture to celebrate the Dragon year. We can really feel the warm anticipation and support from you!

We are happy to share that Hara san has completed the creation of the new ‘Ryu’ sculpture! It is now ready for pre-order.

From the first animal zodiac till now, we are filled with gratitude and blessings to create each individual work.

Inspired by the ancient mythology of the ‘Ryu’ (Dragon). The Dragon is the guardian of the universe and its heavenly messenger. It is also the symbol of the life force between the sky and land. According to Hara san, 2024 will be the year of the element of wood. It represents the ascending flight of a youthful and energetic Dragon. He called it the ‘Youthful Dragon’ Ryu 稚龍. He has incorporated the idea into the design of the sculpture, with the flowing beard and hair of the young dragon which pushes the limits of his waxing technique. It promises a dynamic year of soaring fortunes, vitality and prosperity ahead.

May the upcoming Year of the Dragon brings success, good health and happiness to you. 

Please PM me directly if you are interested to order and bring ‘Ryu’ into your home.
