Ink Wash Peking Opera Postcard — Journey to the West - The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong

Sun Wukong is perhaps my favorite Peking Opera character, so mischievous, skilled in martial arts, and full of life~! He's truly a delightful character ^^ The story of the Journey to the West has long been performed on stage, in productions like "Havoc in Heaven" and "Journey to the West." Sun Wukong's facial makeup, known as *lianpu*, is beautified with colors like red, black, grey, white, and gold, forming symbolic patterns that belong to the category of imaginative *lianpu*. However, before "Havoc in Heaven," gold was not part of his makeup. After consuming the pills of immortality from Laozi and being thrown into the Bagua furnace, he developed his fiery golden eyes, which is why gold was later added to his *lianpu*.

I love ink wash painting and traditional opera; this is a beautiful fusion. I want more people to experience the wonder of Peking Opera combined with ink wash art. It's not serious; it's quite amusing! Sharing the beauty of Chinese culture with you all :) Peking Opera, as a performing art, is not mainstream in Taiwan. I wonder how many young friends would be interested in it. Whether it's the stylized movements, the martial arts, the singing, or the art of the facial makeup... it's all exquisite! I express the characters' traits through "freehand brushwork lines" and a "playful style" to make it more accessible and approachable for the general public! / Origin and Manufacturing Method / Taiwan
