Leizu | Original Cinnabar Seal Print

Original seal carving by Master Zhijian · hand-printed in cinnabar · 24K pure-gold inscription · 6 × 9 cm

This Leizu deity image is created from an original seal-carving composition by Master Zhijian, then printed individually by hand with cinnabar pigment. The inscription on the front is written by hand in 24K pure gold, and the reverse is hand-inscribed with Taoist talismanic script by a senior Taoist ritual master.

24K pure-gold inscription

The inscription on the front is written in 24K pure gold rather than printed in a gold-colored ink. Its metallic sheen changes naturally with the light and viewing angle. Because every piece is finished by hand, small differences in brushwork, gold coverage, and detail are part of the work.

Who is Leizu?

Leizu—Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun—is one of the major deities of Taoist thunder traditions, associated with the thunder offices, moral order, protection of the righteous, and Taoist thunder rites.

Master Zhijian reworks traditional Leizu iconography through the visual language of seal carving, compressing the deity’s expression, attributes, and composition into a compact 6 × 9 cm work suitable for collection or display.

Carved first, then printed one by one

This is not an industrial print. After the seal-carving composition is completed, each piece is printed individually with cinnabar pigment. Differences in pressure, pigment density, paper condition, and hand technique create natural variation in color, edges, and small details.

Hand-inscribed talismanic script on the reverse

The reverse is hand-inscribed by a senior Taoist ritual master according to the relevant religious tradition. The talismanic script is part of Taoist religious and cultural practice and is not presented as a guarantee of financial, health, career, relationship, or other personal outcomes.
