This woodblock painting beautifully captures the essence of family life—care, protection, and hope for what’s to come.
Symbol of Family Unity
The rooster, bowing to reveal the eggs to the chicks, represents the values of family: mutual support, nurturing, and the passing of wisdom. The vibrant feathers of the rooster and the unique colors of each chick reflect diversity within the family, symbolizing harmony and togetherness.
Prosperity and Protection
On the left, a vase filled with blooming peonies adds a touch of celebration, symbolizing wealth and honor. Its cloud patterns and dragon motifs amplify the auspicious energy. On the right, a taller vase holds three halberds, signifying strength and protection, wishing for the safety and happiness of the family.
