Note: The beauty of nature has been celebrated in Chinese and Japanese culture throughout the ages, finding its expression in literature, music, Daoist and Buddhist beliefs, and the arts. From flowers and dragons to animals and water ? nature has played an important role in Asian art from the earliest dynastic periods. In this pair of examples, associated with good fortune, career advancement and the mythological ?Immortals?, deer have always been a popular subject, bringing the promise of a high position, respect and wealth, landscapes were reflections of the soul and mind of the artist. Connection with nature is vital to man's personal growth and well-being.
