Rosei`s dream
(Rosei yume no zu, 盧生夢之図)
"The Dream of Rosei (or Rōshō)" is based on a Tang Dynasty legend about a poor young man named Rosei. After sleeping on a Taoist named Lu Dongbin`s magical pillow, Rosei dreams of a life
filled with extraordinary successes. However, this imagined life ends with a sudden fall from grace. The story symbolizes the ephemeral nature of success and human fortune, illustrating how reality can
change as quickly as in a dream.
This tale is often used to reflect on the transience of worldly glories.
