About this work
A family of long-haired turtles (minogame) on a rock with the first sunrise of the new year in the background. Long-haired turtles symbolize a long and happy life, due to their tail of seaweed. This tail would only be acquired by a turtle after it was at least 1000 years old. With two poems.
