Signed Mystic Camphor Tree Line Work Art Print
DESCRIPTION
This is a signed art print of "Mystic Japanese Camphor Tree Linework" which is a hand drawn ink illustration.
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Inspired by the over 3000 year old Camphor Tree of Kawago, this illustration was done using a dipping pen and ink. As legend says, the shrine was built into the tree by a holy monk hundreds of years ago. Shinto shrines are created to honour and worship 'kami' (gods) and are also where they live.
Fun fact - A Camphor tree is the same species of tree that Totoro lives in!
"Totoro has animistic traits and has kami status according to his surroundings and being referred to as "mori no nushi," or "master of the forest". Totoro lives in a camphor tree in a Shinto shrine surrounded by a Shinto rope, these are all characteristics of a kami." - Hayao Miyazaki
