Continuing the Japanese heritage collection, this piece centres on the heron or sagi in Japanese a bird traditionally associated with grace, stillness, and spiritual passage. In Japanese folklore and visual culture, the heron is often regarded as a messenger of the gods, admired for its purity and its ability to move effortlessly between land, water, and sky. This fluidity has long made the sagi a symbol of transition and clarity, representing the space between worlds rather than a fixed state. The design draws on that symbolism, capturing a moment of quiet presence where movement, balance, and intention coexist.
