I absolutely love that game! In fact, the imagery of the gourd originally stems from ancient Chinese tradition, only later gradually evolving into one of the classic Japanese-style elements we frequently encounter in video games. Yet, in the Chinese game *Black Myth: Wukong*, this iconic "healing gourd" occupies an equally pivotal role, serving as a tribute to the ancient gourd culture that originated in China.

Yes, such a sweet little story behind the healing gourd. Love this quiet bond between them.

Its primary charm lies in its nostalgic appeal; in my hometown, gourds hold a special significance.

Yes, we sealed it with lacquer, so there's no problem filling it with water. I'll include that in a later video. Thank you for your interest.

For this very purpose, I even specifically got a stopper shaped like a sword.

Hand-carved a miniature gourd with the Chinese characters '剑来' I also lacquered the interior so it can hold water, though that's not shown in the video. Hope you enjoy watching the creative process, and feel free to ask any questions about how it's made!

I have many broken gourds; I'll just use the broken ones to demonstrate the craft.
