At the center, a small flock of sheep gathers peacefully in a green meadow, their wool rendered in delicate washes of white, grey, and pale lavender. Their rounded forms and quiet expressions give the scene a tender, almost storybook warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRising behind them is Mount Fuji, painted in subtle blues and purples, its iconic silhouette anchoring the composition and lending a sense of timelessness and national symbolism. The mountain’s presence evokes stability, protection, and continuity, while the open sky and fresh greenery suggest new beginnings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the upper right, the inscription 迎春 未年 (“Welcoming Spring, Year of the Sheep”) situates the work as a New Year piece, traditionally displayed to invite good fortune. In Japanese symbolism, sheep are associated with gentleness, harmony, family bonds, and peaceful prosperity—qualities especially auspicious for the New Year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is signed and sealed by Shōkō (祥行), whose refined brushwork and restrained use of color reflect a sensitivity rooted in traditional Japanese aesthetics. Overall, this shikishi embodies a quiet blessing: a wish for a mild, harmonious year filled with warmth, unity, and serene happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 24 x 27cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56463669297483,"sku":"SHP248","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_24452963-d0b1-4123-b1a9-2affc8f8b431.jpg?v=1770204949","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/de\/products\/shp248-shikishi-print-of-sheep-by-shoko-%e7%a5%a5%e8%a1%8c","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
