I posted an article that I was getting to know Ms. Kato Fujiko paper-cutting artist at the fate of the Okinawa Flower Hobby Association on July 24, 2020.
Even before that time, her handworks were introduced in Facebook post for each season and event, and I was her fan since then.
And more than a year after I asked for it for the first time, since I thought that I would like to decorate my house, and the Wat Japan (10th anniversary in 2023) for which the center of the entrance and the living.
I would like to donate one for Renna the landlord of the temple.
So, I asked for three pieces to Kato, and she accepted it with kind heartedly.
The basics are lotus flowers and Okinawan hibiscus. “Lotus” is a Buddhist pedestal that is also useful in Buddhism. Nichiren saint is also named “Lotus” by the Lotus Sutra. I gave the name of Renna in about 10 years ago because I thought that the Japanese name, Renna, was also suitable for Thai people who have a serious faith. It was planned to commemorate the 10th anniversary.
*There are many types of lotuses. Can you tell the difference from water lilies?
You can see that has the long stem is “Lotus”.
