日本‧二宮尊德(俗名二宮金次郎1787～ 1865) 童年父母早逝，家境貧窮，

12歲開始砍柴背薪，自修向學，自力更生；

16歲領悟「以智慧改革，開拓耕作，積小為大之自然成功法則」。

26歲成為富有的地主，以濟弱扶傾及廣傳「成功法則」而成名。

中年出任德川幕府「首相」之職，貢獻國家，改善經濟至鉅。

明治維新時代明治天皇追認其「豐功偉績」同時列為典範人物，

並將其「典故」編入教科書成為教材；

並且為他設立「神社」、典藏其一生豐富的著作，

使他的典範傳誦世世代代。

「二宫尊德」為作者自幼敬仰至愛的典範人物。眼看現今社會「人」的道德低落，家庭教育的偏離…，激動了作者的心，

感動作者需重新雕作這具正面意義的典範人物；除藝術層面外，兼具間接教化年輕一代的實際功能，雖然走回以前寫實細雕的創作，

但也心安理得，將古代典故作品再呈現於現代人的面前，更盼望對現今社會有所啟發領悟。

" Ninomiya Sontoku " has been the author's role model since he was a child. Due to the collapse of social morals and the deviation of family

education, the author perceived he had to recreate a role model like " Ninomiya Sontoku " to indirectly influence the younger generation.

Although the work is an imitative one, the author still feels at ease and justified to present the ancient classical work to people nowadays in the

hope that everyone can feel the importance of education and learn something from the work and then the work can have some great positive

influence on society.
