I have been unexpectedly occupied since praising Yeh's Fermented Eggs. So for today, I will keep it simple and share four photos of artistic creations on display at the Historical Folk Museum in Kinmen.
The qilin (麒麟) sculptures made during the time of the Xuande Emperor, who ruled from 1425 to 1435, were two of my favorites at the museum.
Another set of sculptures at the museum, these made recently by children, provided an unexpected variation on the imaginary creature theme.
Perhaps in 600 years they too will be displayed as examples of ancient art.
