In Chinese symbology, irises are the dancing spirits of the early part of summer, and the petals are symbolic of butterfly wings, free and flying in the wind. Irises are called "Purple Butterflies" Irises are characterized as inspiring faith, hope, wisdom and valor. Centuries ago, when Susho began to evolve from home furnishing and clothing, the Emperor and his court wanted wall art to decorate their palaces. The aristocrats favored natural scenes, wanting to capture the detail and texture of flora and fauna. Susho artists learned to please the taste of the elites, by making natural scenes as realistic as possible. Symbolically, the images were meant to permanently capture the essences and benefits of the subjects. Even an Emperor cannot keep an iris alive forever, but capturing its soul in silk will make it a captive, eternally.

This particular design was one of the first we created based on an American's request and is a testament to the talent of our Susho artists. When we arrived in the United States, we asked our new American staff for design recommendations to please Western tastes. One suggestion, based on our mastery of wildlife designs, was the "Lion of Judah" from the bible's New Testament, Book of Revelation. The Lion of Judah is the symbol for the Tribe of Judah, the tribe included King David, Solomon and Jesus Christ. The Lion of Judah often symbolizes Jesus in Christian artwork. C.S. Lewis chose to represent his Christ figure as a lion named Aslan. Our Susho artists in China were fascinated by the stories, and asked for one image that would best tell the story of the lion's character. It was decided that the lion should be praying, having a heartfelt talk with his heavenly father. Our new staff was stunned by the final artwork. Not only did the artists capture the physical character of the lion perfectly, but the expression is profound. The lion looks focused and reverent, he's praying. The execution of the design for the lion's fur is amazing, every hair is distinct and glows in pure silk. In Chinese symbolism, lions represent unrelenting power and strength. And, the lion is the King of the Beasts, a symbol of grandeur. All throughout China, you will find statues of lions as guardians in front of temples, city gates and even some private homes. These lion statues protect honor and reputations. In Feng Shui, lions are a charm for a successful career with great prestige.
