Walk south, past the stage again, into the open plaza square near 5th Avenue S and S Weller Street. Embedded in the brick paving underfoot you’ll see 12 symbols of the Chinese calendar rendered in cut and colored bricks. Each symbol is about 8-foot square. Though the symbols are based on the Chinese zodiac, they are also artists Ishii and Adams’ tribute to animal iconography of the Northwest coast Native cultures.
