This photo was taken inside the shop with a white sheet outside. It shows the body and the organs represented by animals. In Chinese medicine, the 5 Elements -Water, Wood, Earth, Fire and Metal relate to the different organs of the body. The phases of the moon are shown along the perimeters of the body. The sun and moon represent the female and male energies or yin and yang.

These photos were taken at night. The top one inside the shop & the bottom one from outside.
