Good fortune & a new day
A zodiac animal and a herald of dawn, the rooster appears in auspicious decoration. Its name, ji, recalls the sound of a word for good fortune.
Inside this paper pattern
The sourced side view preserves the comb, beak, chest, feet, and high arched tail. Feather divisions become carved openings in a single paper color.
