The Dark

When something goes “bump” in the night,

And the children in bed all shiver,

When something gives someone a fright,

And their strength begins to wither,

There’s something out there, in the dark,

That twists it’s bony hands,

And is waiting to tear your confidence apart,

Into tiny shredded strands.

You can’t be too careful, in the dark,

Where the wicked things do tend to play,

Because when you mess with their domain,

There’s not much more anyone can say.

You trespass upon their sacred place,

Where shadows coat the ground,

Where there is no hope for salvation,

And the wicked things creep all around.

They come in all shapes and sizes,

And every ugly shade of grey,

They come with teeth that rips and slices,

They do not come, however, to play.

In the dark they wait for you,

To make the mistake with your venture,

But once you do, they fall upon you,

And you are now an unfortunate creature.

People say do not fear the dark,

And it’s true the dark is only a cover,

But you should fear what is in the dark,

For it will surely pull you under.

I’m more than two years late on this one but I guess better late than never? At least eventually the zodiacs will roll back around again in about 10 more years. I had a hard time coming up with a design for the year of the dog when I started two years ago, and got a lot of inspiration and a crash course in Japanese new year’s from one of the student interns at my school. Thanks to her I learned a lot more obscure (to non-Japanese eyes) new year’s culture and an interesting way of connecting the culture and zodiac in my annual New Year’s card. The two main Japanese dog breeds are the shiba and the akita, and since shibas are the better known of the two, I chose to go with that. I also included some traditional New Year’s artifacts like the giant shrine bell presented as a the dog’s ball, and a special rope called ‘shimenawa’ as the dog’s collar. People often go to shrines right at midnight on January first to do their first prayers of the new year, ringing a bell attached to a rope that calls on/wakes up the gods to listen to their prayer. The shimenawa is a special rope woven from rice straw. It marks a boundary between our world and the world of the gods. It’s usually hung on front doors during the New Year season to welcome the gods and keep out the evil. Tell me something you know about Japanese new year, or something you’d like to know! . . . . . #japan #gifu #collage #art #colors #maskingtape #washitape #MT #masté #saien #bgm #myart #originalpiece #dog #shiba #japanesenewyear #newyear#jspanese #culture #playful #色とりどり #自身のアート #アート #美術 #和紙テープ #マステ #サイエン #犬 #柴犬 #しば #お正月 #注連縄 #日本文化 #遊ぼう (at Tokiwacho, Gifu-shi) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3TalSYH14y/?igshid=1vz9g0hxc5nr7
