Art Jumon Original Artwork is an oil painting on canvas which introduces the subject matter of Art Jumon. This depicts a symbolic sign language derived from ancient Japan. The Jumon (spelling) were secretly used by groups of select warriors for signalling to their comrades at a distance and in battle. They were also reputed to contain certain aspects of knowledge. After studying and writing about these unusual ideograms, a natural progression into art followed, which is both original and unique. The artwork is expressed in the simplest terms of various geometric shapes, representing eight Jumon used to depict certain aspects of this ancient knowledge. 1. Inoru means pray, (faith and mercy) symbolised as a pair of wings. 2. Zengo means sphere, (around and about) symbolised by circles. 3. Zai means mountain, (memory and creativity) symbolised by a triangle. 4. Zen means hands, (energy and perception) symbolised by a star shape. 5. Retsu means line, (column of strength) symbolised by lines and grids. 6. Katana means sword, (invisible attraction/ projection) symbolised by a curved blade. 7. Kai means time, (power of association) symbolised by arced lines or a clock. 8. To means door, (pagoda of change) symbolised by a squiggly shape. Various symbols of these Jumon are presented in random arrangements to create the different artworks.
