UNCLE HAYATO'S ART CORNER (Sort of...)



UNCLE HAYATO'S ART CORNER (Sort of...)

     Today we present "Flying Batsand the Full Moon by Ohara Kosnn, dated c. 1930 depicting four bats flying on a full moon night. The old name of the bat was "henfuku", which containted the word, "fuku" (happiness). Therefore, a bat was considered as a lucky symbol in Japan.

Two of the bats in this scene appear to be a bit more batty than the others but they are definitely "fuku"...
