Deep sleep / Seisyu (清秀)
He is Seisyu (清秀) who is a character of Japanese anime “The twelve kingdoms”. He was a kid but is killed in an accident. I expressed that he has been sleeping (dead) for a long time by a flower “Aster tataricus” twining around his body. One of Aster tataricus’s meanings is reminiscent.
