Nepali Lungta Prayer Flags

Lung ta — "wind horse" — prayer flags are the Tibetan-Buddhist bunting strung across Himalayan passes, bridges, and rooftops. Five woodblock-printed cotton squares repeat in one fixed order — blue, white, red, green, yellow — each colour an element: sky, air, fire, water, earth. The wind carries the printed prayers outward as the cotton frays and bleaches.

This system reads those flags against a deep Himalayan slate ground, so the five vibrant colours flare like bunting against mountain and sky. Weathered cotton, woodblock ink, and horizontal banner rhythm define every surface.

「风马旗」（藏语 lung ta）是藏传佛教悬挂于喜马拉雅山口、桥梁与屋顶的经幡。五色棉布以固定顺序循环——蓝、白、红、绿、黄——分别对应天空、风、火、水、土五大元素。山风将木刻雕版印就的经文随旗面飘送四方，而棉布日渐褪色、磨损起须。

本设计系统将这些经幡置于深邃的喜马拉雅板岩色底之上，使五种鲜亮颜色如旗般在山峦与天空间猎猎招展。风化棉布的质感、木刻油墨的笔触、以及横向旗阵的节奏，贯穿于每一处界面。
