19:43 MANEKI NEKO - NEVALYASHKA / 2011 |
It is 44 seconds loop about the child of Japanese MANEKI NEKO and Russian NEVALYASHKA. I still don't know what exactly it means, but if I would be a son of those two dolls, I have to look like this. :-) (actually, it is a sketch for a sculpture)
MANEKI NEKO - The Maneki Neko (招き猫?, literally "Beckoning Cat"; also known as Welcoming Cat, Lucky Cat, Money cat, or Fortune Cat; sometimes incorrectly labeled Chinese Lucky Cat) is a common Japanese sculpture, often made of ceramic, which is believed to bring good luck to the owner.

NEVALYASHKA - Traditional Russian Doll, about it Wikipedia says:
A roly-poly toy, tilting doll, tumbler or wobbly man is a toy that rights itself when pushed over. The bottom of a roly-poly toy is round, roughly a hemisphere. It has a center of mass below the center of the hemisphere, so that any tilting raises the center of mass. When such a toy is pushed over, it wobbles for a few moments while it seeks the upright orientation, which has an equilibrium at the minimum gravitational potential energy.
The toy can represent a person, an animal, or anything else. Different toy manufacturers and different cultures produce different-looking roly-poly toys: the okiagari-koboshi and some types of Daruma doll of Japan, the nevаlashka or vanka-vstanka of Russia,[1][2] and Playskool's Weebles. Traditional Chinese examples are hollow clay figures of plump children, but "many Chinese folk artists shape their tumblers in the image of clownish mandarins as they appear on stage; in this way they mock the inefficiency and ineptitude of the bureaucrats".[3]
