Book of Auspicious Beasts

Materials: bright fabric of Dong nationality, velvet

The book-shaped sewing kit is used by the people in southeast of Guizhou Province as an embodiment of ancient national wisdom. It is known as “a book without words”. Featuring an intricate structure, a clear texture and durability, it can generate valuable functions which will be applied in our modern life. “Rank badge” is a concentrated point for Chinese totem worship, perfectly interpreting the significance of “auspicious animals” for Chinese. 1983 ASIA broke the limit of time and space, combined them together and condensed the endless stories about rank badge with an exquisite vision into “Book of Auspicious Animals” series as an Asian. Hopefully, it will last forever and be cherished by all people.
