In use since 2015, ‘Companions of the Forest’ is a patented trademark of Du Hansong, a Rukai of Haocha Village, Wutai, Pingdong County. Besides the Wild Boar from the mountain forest and the Lowland Piggy from the city, there are many other good friends: the Hundred-pacer Snake, the Clouded Leopard, the Owl, Monkey, Muntjac, Flying Squirrel, Black Bear, Pangolin, Hare, Palm Civet, and Formosan Sambar. Their lively activities together transmit the stories of tribal cultures. They expect to awaken your curiosity by their banter and playful tales.
The cheeky poses of the animals and their joyful interaction are a metaphor for the indigenous peoples and weave the wisdom of the forest with the lore of our ancestors. They also seek to hand on an ecological lesson for today. The ‘Companions of the Forest’ are presented in two formats: as colorful illustrations and as large 3-D figures. All are created in a unique and highly artistic style that appeals to people of all ages. There can be no better way to pass on our culture to you.
