WHAT 這是什麼

The Met describes small hand-held and larger cushion-resting mokugyo slit drums used to accompany sutra chanting in Taoist and Buddhist ceremonies. Their fish decoration symbolizes wakeful attention because fish were imagined as having no eyelids.

WHY HERE 為什麼屬於底域的世界

聲音工具和視覺提醒被合成一件物:人一邊敲擊維持誦經節奏,一邊讓魚的形象持續指向精神警醒。

BLIND SPOT 補了哪一塊少看的視角

館頁概述此類器物的宗教使用與象徵;不同寺院、宗派與地區的節奏和解釋不應被視為完全一致。
