Seal 和 [hé] = Harmony

This carved ideogram contains some of the richest and best-known traditions of Chinese graphic art: the art of the seal, calligraphy, folkloric paper decoupage and so on. Hanging on the wall, hanging from the ceiling or placed against the glass against the light, this simple decorative object wants to bring you an aura of exotic poetry, benevolence and a positive wish.

Consisting of 禾 [hé] wheat and 口 [kǒu] mouth, the ideogram 和 “hé” refers to reconciliation and peace. In ancient times if all the people – that is, every 口 [kǒu] mouth – had wheat 禾 [hé] meant that they lived in well-being. Consequently, if the people had a state of well-being, peace reigned in the country and therefore harmony.
