Island storiesSaguer (撒固兒), Guofu (國福), Hualien City
Helps set up a new neighbourhood reading room in Saguer and repairs simple bookbindings.
The story / Host of the New Reading Room
Buys Dongfang Meiren from Beipu for small gatherings with friends: carries brewed tea in the working look and examines the dry leaves’ silvery buds at home. The reading room, activities and choice of tea are fictional; no ritual symbolism is used.
Cultural context
Host of the New Reading Room / Collection
A mustard knitted polo, cropped navy trousers and burgundy loafers; a compact bookbinding kit secured to the outfit. Holds a rounded glass teapot with amber tea, a single spout and a closed-loop handle.
A raspberry raglan top with muted pink sleeves, oatmeal jersey trousers and dark-green closed-toe slippers. Brings a bamboo tea scoop of dry leaves towards the face; the other paw holds a paper tea bag.
00 / Original form
A tall bell-shaped head has a broad lower half and deep teal glaze. Amber eyes sit low on the pale front, beneath two small side tea leaves.
