禅の象 (Zen no Zō)
In the time of floating worlds, when master artisans carved stories into wooden blocks and painted dreams with indigo and vermillion, there lived an ancient spirit in the sacred groves of Mount Fuji.
This spirit, moved by the dedication of the ukiyo-e masters who captured life's fleeting beauty, decided to take physical form to walk among the people and share the timeless wisdom of Japanese aesthetics.
Choosing the noble elephant as its vessel, the spirit was blessed by the kami of the four seasons: spring's cherry blossoms gave it gentleness, summer's bamboo provided flexibility, autumn's maples granted wisdom, and winter's snow bestowed purity.
