"When an ancestral image is produced today, it must follow closely the ancient guidelines set down by the very first depicter of the abstract form.
Of course, the modern day artist has the freedom to use his own style, as was the case in the days of old.
Yet the essence of that ancient image is still alive."
A charismatic hero in an enchanting story.
