Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever. Not so fast, I'd say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.
Anyway, you still use Lorem Ipsum and rightly so, as it will always have a place in the web workers toolbox, as things happen, not always the way you like it, not always in the preferred order.

Description
Vintage Postcard: Master Gyo-kumin’s Mythological Wrestlers Netsuke
Immerse yourself in Japanese mythology with our exceptional vintage postcard showcasing a 19th-century netsuke by the renowned Master Gyo-kumin. This collectible postcard, published in 1983 by the Fine Arts Publishing House in Moscow, measures 15 x 10.7 cm (5 7/8″ x 4 3/16″) and captures a fascinating piece of Japanese sculptural art.
The postcard vividly depicts a wooden netsuke standing 6 cm tall, intricately carved to represent the mythological wrestlers Nyo and Oni. These figures, often found in miniature sculptures, played significant roles in Buddhist temples as guardians against evil spirits.
In this dynamic composition, Master Gyo-kumin portrays Nyo, a positive character, locked in an eternal struggle with the evil demon Oni. Their battle symbolizes the cosmic balance between good and evil, reflecting the Far Eastern concept of Yang and Yin. Interestingly, this duality represents the male element (fire, light, day) and the female element (water, night) respectively.
The netsuke captures a pivotal moment in classical sumo wrestling known as the kawasu throw. Despite the abstract subject matter, Gyo-kumin presents the figures realistically, conveying intense movement and emotional tension. Notably, the master slightly distorts proportions, enlarging muscles and elongating arms, thus heightening the drama of this decisive moment.
Furthermore, this unique postcard illustrates the skillful blend of mythology and artistry in 19th-century Japan. Therefore, it’s an ideal addition for collectors interested in Japanese folklore, Buddhist art, or unique historical artifacts.
