Inspired by "The Grateful Crane", a Japanese folktale about devotion and loyalty, Muramatsu blends calligraphy with origami and ukiyo-e to depict a white crane mid-flight, wings gracefully curved as if soaring across the night sky. A symbol of light and hope for the future, the crane symbolises longevity, peace and tranquillity in Japanese culture. With flowing calligraphic strokes and soft hues, the glowing lantern weaves traditional art into a luminous form that evokes both serenity and strength.

Calling upon the popular "Tiger and Magpie" motif in Korean folk art, graffiti artist DHAL reinterprets the traditional guardian tiger with his vibrant 3D style. Infusing the lantern with timeless artistic flair, DHAL reimagines the exaggerated brushstrokes of traditional tigers through the lens of graffiti aesthetics, fusing contemporary street language with cultural symbolism. Across the tiger's body, DHAL's signature graffiti totems animate the piece with blessings and protective energy, while the magpies invoke joy and hope.

Centred around the auspicious and prosperous koi, this lantern vividly captures the poetry and vital energy of autumn in a lively fish leaping from the water, surrounded by lotus leaves transformed into blossoming waves.
