Yomei, Mandarin Duck: Spirit of the Jade Lotus Pond - AETHERWOOD Collection

$110.00
Limit 1 per order

STUDIO HAND-PAINTED EDITION

Enter Aetherwood with Yomei, the Keeper of Serenity—a graceful Mandarin drake whose quiet wisdom and gentle awareness bring calm clarity to those who pause long enough to listen.

Yomei’s journey began beside the tranquil waters of Lotus Pond, a secluded sanctuary beyond Aetherwood. During his travels, he discovered Clearwater Pond, where water flows continuously from the forest waterfall. Lotus Pond taught him stillness and reflection; Clearwater Pond is teaching him that serenity can remain even when the world is moving.

Yomei began as an original sculpture shaped by hand in clay by Karen Monteverdi. He was then digitally scanned and reproduced as a detailed 3-inch figure in high-quality resin. This Studio Edition has been individually painted by hand, bringing the color, movement, and quiet presence of this remarkable resident to life.

This listing is for one of only twelve completed hand-painted Yomei sculptures. Each sculpture also belongs to Yomei’s larger numbered edition, strictly limited to 200 resin figures.

Your collectible includes the hand-painted Yomei sculpture, a downloadable PDF of his complete personality and character page, and a Numbered Limited-Edition Certificate of Authenticity documenting his place within the collection.

Yomei is more than a figure from the forest. His sculpture, personality, and story were created together as part of the unfolding world of Aetherwood.

Bring Yomei’s serenity into your space and follow his journey toward the Festival of Unity.

“Balance is not the absence of movement, but the grace of how we flow through it.”

In the stillness of Bamboo Valley, you will find Yomei gliding silently in the blue depths of Jade Lotus Pond. 

Yomei is a mandarin duck of vivid color and quiet strength, a messenger of peace, and keeper of harmony. He sees the world not just as it is, but as it could be. Intention manifestation is his secret gift to those who dare to seek his wisdom.

When the mists of doubt rise, Yomei remains steady, rippling serenity outward from his home near the banks of Bamboo Valley.
