Artworks are created with the intention of promoting happiness and well-being. They feature motifs that symbolize diverse meanings, including longevity, the prosperity of future generations, and the safety of households. These motifs are diverse, encompassing a wide range of elements from legendary creatures to familiar flowers and various animals. Some prominent examples include: recluse hermits, with the power of eternal life; dragons, seen as powerful spirit animals; phoenixes, said to appear as good omens; cranes, said to live for a thousand years; the pine, bamboo and plum, known as the "three friends of winter" due to being able to withstand the harshest of the cold months and eventually becoming associated with good luck; and the peony, known as the king of flowers and a symbol of wealth. In addition to depicting them individually, they can be combined to provide multiple meanings, further enhancing the blessings they bring.
This exhibition showcases a selection of paintings and pottery that feature auspicious motifs. Enjoy a world of art that can bring you happiness simply by looking at it.
