Synopsis:

Guide to Capturing a Plum Blossom aims not at technical artistic training but at the training of artistic perception: not how to hold a brush but rather how to really see a plum blossom. First published in A.D. 1238, Guide to Capturing a Plum Blossom may be the world's first printed book of art and literature; it is presented here in a fine bilingual edition. Red Pine's delicate, graceful, and learned translation of the historic Confucian work is the first ever into English.

Review:

"Possibly the first printed art instruction book....These poems and drawings celebrate the author's love affair with plum blossoms, examining the essence of plum blossoms through every stage of their growth....Pour yourself a pot of tea and enjoy."
