This is the fourth one of the five paintings on flowers of the five fruits which are related to the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water). Each of them includes the flowers of the fruit and the mythological creature of the Five Elements. I reworked the five paintings after they were first exhibited at a group exhibition of Sunaba Gallery (Osaka, Japan) in 2018.
