Hou: The Monkey

This is a linoleum block print of the monkey with the Chinese character 'hou'. It is in water-based ink on Japanese kozo (mulberry) paper and is 8" by 12" (20.3 cm by 30.5 cm). Those born under the sign of the monkey are supposed to be ingenious, and unsurprisingly, mischievous.

 

The Chinese Year of the Monkey begins after Chinese New Year in 1908, 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004.
