Hotei

Brenda found me a a lovely, jade-looking, sculpture.

The sculpture is of Hotei, today in Japan by many considered to be the one of the seven lucky gods of Taoism who is responsible for wealth. The image portrayed is that of Budai, a 10th century Chinese monk who, according to legend, found happiness by foregoing material wealth.

It is made out of some kind of resin that the interesting.

It glows in the dark.

The glow comes from within, not just of the surface.

--Cool and a bit haunting really.
