Seal 淡 [dàn] = Moderation

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.

The ideogram 淡 [dàn] is composed of 氵 [shuǐ] water and 炎 [yán] flame, the latter formed by two 火 [huǒ], or “fire”. The union of these three characters symbolizes the possibility of encounter between opposite elements and the neutralization of extreme forces.
