{"product_id":"japanese-phoenix-wood-relief","title":"Japanese Phoenix Wood Relief, Hoo Bird Wall Art","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Japanese phoenix wood relief is made for someone who wants Japanese wall art with more depth and presence than a flat print. The Hoo, long tail feathers, and paulownia branches are carved into solid beech wood, so the design has real dimension and changes as light moves across it. It can make a meaningful gift for someone who loves Japanese art, phoenix symbolism, or traditional Japanese decor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hoo is the Japanese phoenix. In traditional Japanese art, it was believed to appear during times of peace and good rule. Unlike the Western phoenix, it is not mainly known for rising from fire. I liked the way this bird feels powerful without looking aggressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe branches around the phoenix are paulownia, known in Japan as kiri. The Hoo and paulownia have been shown together for a long time, so the flowers and leaves are an important part of the design rather than just a background. The raised wing, flowing feathers, and surrounding branches give the carving plenty of detail while keeping the phoenix as the main focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this is carved wood wall art rather than a printed image, the feathers, flowers, and branches have real raised and recessed surfaces. Natural shadows bring out different parts of the design from the front and side, and the wood grain runs through the entire carving. Each piece will have its own natural look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI carve each relief from solid beech wood using CNC to create the main shape and depth. After carving, I hand-sand the surface and edges so the piece feels clean and finished. Laser detailing helps bring out the face, layered feathers, paulownia leaves, flowers, and smaller carved lines. I finish the wood with shellac to help protect the surface while keeping the natural look of the beech visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 7\" x 7\" x 0.5\" Japanese wall art is easy to display on a bookshelf, desk area, entryway, hallway, home office, meditation corner, or personal wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI use the same square frame style across my carved wall art pieces, so this Hoo Phoenix relief can stand alone or be displayed with other meaningful designs from my shop. It pairs well with the Komainu, Imperial Dragon, Lamassu, Sacred Tree, or other Japanese and cultural wall art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePersonalization is available on the back of the piece.
