Year of the Ox - City of Sydney

CELEBRATING THE YEAR OF THE OX: THE WAVING OX - CITY OF SYDNEY 

Happy Lunar New Year! We've launched The Waving Ox in Chinatown, Sydney.

Award-winning artist Ms Lau took inspiration for her ox lantern design from the Japanese Maneki-neko beckoning cat which has been adopted into Asian culture. 

“I grew up in a Chinese takeaway shop my parents ran in the north of England and there were lucky cats on the counter, so for me the design has a great sense of nostalgia, as well as being a nod to multicultural Australia.
