Theme & Symbolism

The negative space between them forms the shape of Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of love and mercy, symbolizing spiritual unity and compassionBotanical elements—buds, blossoms, and natural motifs—represent new growth and renewal. The metallic gold detailing enhances these symbols, adding depth and a sense of reverence often associated with Japanese art.
