"Xuanwu, referring to the tortoise and snake. It is positioned in the north, hence 'Xuan.' Its body has scales and armor, hence 'Wu.'" - *Chu Ci: Far-away Travels*
As the foremost of the Four Auspicious Beasts, Xuanwu is depicted as a entwined tortoise and snake. The tortoise symbolizes longevity, while the snake represents fertility and procreation. Their intertwined form signifies reverence for life force and governs the cycles of life and death. This bookmark captures the entwined tortoise and snake in a mutual gaze, embodying the balance of life. From the snake's tail bloom vibrant flowers, weaving around a celestial ring symbolizing the North – a representation of life's principles within the vast universe.
※ For optimal use, we suggest inserting the bookmark at a 45-degree angle into the corner of the page, allowing for a smoother turning of pages.
