Page from Ten Bamboo Studio - Bamboos and chrysanthemums Ten Bamboo Studio Collection of Callilgraphy and Painting
An illustration from the earliest Chinese book printed in colour woodblocks invented and perfected by Hu Zhengyan (1583/4-1673/4), to reproduce the effect of watercolour painting. The book comprised eight categories (8 vols, 16 parts): birds, plums, orchids, bamboos, fruit, stones, ink drawings (round fans) and miscellany. The leaves are printed on one side only; they were folded in half and glued together along the outer fold, and each image was followed by an accompanying text, in most cases a poem. This example has been taken out of its original binding. 5/6 (III), 18; seal: Wên chung
