A Falling Whale

About the book

A flurry of sand and stones flew away, and the sky rumbled loudly. What is this noise? The forest animals fled the house, but the rain had stopped, the ground had not trembled, and the sky had not collapsed, so what was that sound? Only birds that fly high and can see far away notice when a whale falls from the sky.

The creative medium for A Falling Whale is traditional Chinese blue and white porcelain, and the original manuscript is a blue and white porcelain plate painting fired at a high temperature of 1300 ° C. The image makes use of a unique blue and white space to tell a beautiful and moving story about life and love.
