I've been watching some videos about different cryptids and folklore creatures from around the world, so I wanted to draw some of my favorites.

Lunar New Year in Calgary did not disappoint. It brought back my memories of going to Chinatown in Manchester when I was growing up.

[ Meet the OC ] Caring, playful, extroverted and really sociable, meet Kaizo! He is an adopted estrelendian lion that adores festivals, parties and all shorts of festivities. He is a magical musician and dancer that uses his abilities to bring people's spirits up.

He has sound based abilites, and needless to say, has a lot of knowledge about music and dances of all genres. Kaizo is usually found caring for all people, and always making them feel included, even if that means being more silent and playing calmer music.

Kaizo thinks it's important to remember that sadness and happiness are part of each other, and it's important to live these moments without pushing it away as long as you keep your chin up in the end and move forward, so he stay with people to help them dealing with hard times.

His music is not only for festivities, but is also magical. His different melodies can help others with many different things, some being able to make others less stressed, some making flowers grow, some making water appear, and sometimes even healing melodies.

The lions in traditional Japanese form called "Chinese Lion", from commission draft. That's kind of confusing, but also has interesting history. They were introduced from China(Tang dynasty) to Japan. The lion pattern was originated Ancient Persia, I also heard India and Egypt, and it was introduced to China through the Silk Road.

Back to Japan, people of the time had never seen actual lions, so they received "Lion" as a mystical creature in the Chinese style.

They considered lucky motif usually painted with peony flowers.

I hope 2024 be a better year.

Can anyone explain this? Do they blindfold the lion guardian until the building he is there to guard is finished and then they open his eyes?

Happy Chinese New Year and happy Year of the Dragon to everyone who celebrates!

so quite a lot of people expressed interest in a guide to lion dance! and since the lunar new year is coming up in a couple weeks, which means everyone’s exposure to lions is probably going to increase, i figured i’d go ahead and make it! right click + open in new tab to fullview, etc etc, i hope it’s helpful, although if you only take one thing away from this powerpoint, it’s this: lions are not dragons

disclaimer: i learned fut san style at an american university, and the senior members of the troupe were almost all from hong kong and taiwan, so most of my knowledge is drawn from what they taught me. lion dance varies widely depending on the style and the country of origin, and many schools do things differently! this is just an attempt to establish a baseline and give you a really basic intro to one of my favorite art forms. :)
