Yang: The Sheep or Goat
This Sheep or Goat is the 8th in the Chinese Zodiac. This is an original linoleum block print on Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper. The character 'yang' means sheep or goat (the same term applies to all of them). The sheep is a symbol of filial piety. They are also associated with the male principle because the word 'yang' is a homonym.
The Year of the Sheep begins after Chinese New Year in the years: 1907, 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015.
The print is made on sheets which are 5.5" by 12" (14 cm by 30.5 cm).
