[清本源 x Gohobi Gallery] Thin-Body Douli Cup with Inner-Impressed Rubbing Print and Kintsugi Detailing – “Birth of the Monkey King” Design (100ml) March 2024 or meditation cornersThis thin body douli cup is a poetic meditation on origin, rupture, and becoming, where classical narrative, rubbing techniques, and kintsugi philosophy converge into a vessel of symbolic depth. The imagery is drawn from ancient woodblock prints depicting the Birth of the Monkey King, a foundational moment in Journey to the West. Over time, such prints inevitably bear the marks of ageblurred garments, faded pigments, broken contours, and worn voids.
