We looked at a statue which captured the idea of analogism; bringing similarities to oneself. The idea that one can represent the whole world in a small thing just as Japan is represented in a small Zen garden is applied to the statue. One can gain the qualities of animals by adding the animal pieces to a statue of oneself. Examples of this can be wanting the ferocity of a lion by adding its teeth. Representations of elements are also included and mostly shown in the concept of analogism, but also appear in all other beliefs in some way or another.
