Preparatory sketch
Taki Katei
National Museums Liverpool
United Kingdom
Preparatory sketch of a phoenix in flight above water. In the distance a faint semi-circle represents the rising sun. The phoenix was said to appear only in times of virtuous rule, making it a favourable symbol of a legitimate ruler. The rising sun has positive connotations of new beginnings and is especially appropriate for images to be displayed at New Year.
