Spring Thunder's Phoenix Ballad No.2

This remarkably inventive work illustrates that spring is not just a season of calm; it is a time when countless living things begin to stir and thrive. The term shunrai (spring thunder) refers to the first claps of thunder that herald the changing season from early spring to early summer, a signal for the awakening of life. This piece portrays the sky reverberating with spring thunder and focuses on the legendary phoenix (ko, or ootori), symbolizing vitality and new beginnings, capturing the energy of life and the genesis of all things.
