Tree Spirits or in Japanese, Kodama

“Kodama” found a home with a new collector thanks to RARE Gallery and the Caldera House in Jackson Hole, WY.

Kodama (木霊, 木魂 or 木魅) are spirits in Japanese folklore that inhabit trees, similar to the dryads of Greek mythology. The term is also used to denote a tree in which a kodama supposedly resides. The phenomenon known as yamabiko, when sounds make a delayed echoing effect in mountains and valleys, is sometimes attributed to this kind of spirit, and may also be referred to as "kodama". ~Wikipedia
