Shigaraki Tanuki Statue Lucky Charm Paper Model - by Canon Amuleto Da Sorte Japonês

Tanuki Statues In Front Of Shop In Japan

Tanuki statues produced according to the "Shigaraki ware" pottery style of Shigaraki City, Shiga Prefecture, are one of Japan's most well-known lucky charms. Believed to be bringers of commercial prosperity, they are often placed outside the entrance to shops. The standard tanuki has a good- natured face and a chubby, round body. He wears a braided hat and stands with his head slightly tilted, holding a traditional Japanese tokkuri (sake flask) and a promissory note (an unpaid bill) in his hands. Shigaraki ware tanuki are said to be the bearers of eight different positive traits. The tanuki's hat symbolizes protection from the elements, caution and awareness; the eyes represent looking at things with adequate attention and care; the face features a friendly, sincere smile; the belly symbolizes bold decisiveness; the tokkuri represents personal grace; the promissory note, trust; the money bag, economic fortune; and the tail suggests that true fortune comes from standing firmly and proudly. Also, the staff that a tanuki holds symbolizes the ability to keep from falling. - Canon

The Real Tanukis

As estátuas Tanuki são produzidos de acordo com o "Shigaraki ware", um estilo de cerâmica da Cidade de Shigaraki, província de Shiga, são um dos mais conhecidos amuletos da sorte do Japão. Acredita-se que eles possam trazer prosperidade financeira, por isso eles são muitas vezes colocados na entrada de lojas. O tanuki padrão tem uma cara bem-humorada e um corpo gordinho. Ele usa um chapéu de bambú trançado e está com a cabeça ligeiramente inclinada, segurando uma garrafa de tokkuri (um tradicional saquê) e uma nota promissória em suas mãos. Os Tanukis são considerados portadores de oito diferentes traços positivos: o chapéu simboliza a proteção dos elementos, cautela e consciência. Os olhos representam atenção às coisas e cuidado. O rosto apresenta um sorriso amigável, sincero. A barriga simboliza determinação. A grrafa de tokkuri representa graça pessoal. A nota promissória é confiança e o saco de dinheiro representa prosperidade econômica. A cauda sugere que verdadeira prosperidade tem que ser firme. Além disso, no Japão, um tanuki simboliza a habilidade de não cair, de se manter em pé, apesar das adversidades. - Canon

The Forbiden City In China Paper Model - by Canon - A Cidade Proibida

The Real Thing

The Forbidden City was the Chinese Imperial Palace from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the middle of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost 500 years, it served as the home of emperors and their households, as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government. Built in 1406 to 1420, the complex consists of 980 buildings and covers 720,000 m2 (7,800,000 sq ft). The palace complex exemplifies traditional Chinese palatial architecture, and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia and elsewhere. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, and is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world. Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork and artifacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Part of the museum's former collection is now located in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Both museums descend from the same institution, but were split after the Chinese Civil War. - Wikipedia

Inside the Forbiden City

A Cidade Proibida foi sede do Palácio Imperial Chinês, da Dinastia Ming até ao fim da Dinastia Qing. Ele está localizado no meio de Pequim, na China, e agora abriga o Museu do Palácio. Por quase 500 anos, serviu como a casa oficial dos imperadores e suas famílias, bem como o centro cerimonial e político do governo chinês. Construído entre 1406 e1420, o complexo consiste em 980 edifícios e abrange 720.000 m2. O complexo do palácio é um exemplo da arquitectura tradicional chinesa palaciana, e influenciou a evolução cultural e arquitetônica do Leste da Ásia e de outros lugares. A Cidade Proibida foi declarada Património Mundial em 1987, e está listado pela UNESCO como a maior coleção de antigas estruturas de madeira preservadas no mundo. Desde 1925, a Cidade Proibida abriga o Museu do Palácio, cuja extensa coleção de obras de arte e artefatos contém as coleções imperiais das Dinastias Ming e Qing. Parte da antiga coleção do museu está localizado no Museu do Palácio Nacional, em Taipé. Ambos os museus eram da mesma instituição, mas foram separados após a guerra civil chinesa. - Wikipedia
