Batik and Sky Umbrella

by Wa Mao, Shao Hui

Description

In a beautiful village of Miao people, Grandma Long makes a new Batik dress for her granddaughter. In the ancient Miao legend, Goddess Wa Shuang made a big Batik umbrella to hold up the sky. Grandma's story and the ancient legend are interwoven by the Batik, and the white flowers on the batik cloth dance on the dark blue cloth. Miao people's faith is embodied in the Batik technique and has been passed down from one generation to another.
