More information

The "Ten Bamboo Studio Letter Paper" was originally edited by Hu Zhengyan in the Qing dynasty, early 17th century. A later edition was printed in the 1930s by the historian Zheng Zhenduo and the writer Lu Xun. These pages showing designs of sea creatures in fine colour printing are from a recut edition printed by the Rongbao Studio in Beijing in 1952. Like the original, the pages have been further decorated by using an uninked woodblock to press a raised design into the paper, also known as "blind printing". When used as letter paper, the writer inscribes characters over the decoration.
