Red bird from China


Here is another Chinese stamp I like - sorry the picture is blurry. I am still getting used to a new camera.

There is a type of art in China which uses scissors to cut exquisite pieces of art with minute detail. Almost 20 years ago, my then-tai ji quan teacher brought back some of these works for us in her classes. I have always treasured mine, so I was pleased to find a stamp showing the same type of artwork.

日本語 hints:
blurry = out of focus, ぼやけた (?)
exquisite = この上なくすぐれた、優雅な、等

Notice that "treasure" is used as a verb here - 大事にする、重んじる
