Image and Nature


When I first started to know what is kanji, a sensie explained that the chinese character or kanji was based from some graphic image. I remember that the kanji of shimbun or newspaper was looking like an opened tabloid; mori or forest was a group of three trees to cite a few.
The picture at the left is a rotten or decaying trunk of a dead tree that banished by time and age. Nature and not man made its shape. And you can compare it to a real one which is seen in its front.
Is it a coincidence? Or does nature have a hidden talent like man?
I remember the passage, "God created man in His own image and likeness!" This explains an angle to me about this picture.
