The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting is the most influential and revered painting guide of the last 300 years in China, Japan, and Korea. Originally compiled by Nanjing painter Wang Gai (also known as Wang Kai, 1650–1700), the first edition of 1679 includes a foundational essay on the principles of Chinese painting and the use of color, followed by four richly illustrated sections on landscape painting. In 1701, Wang's brothers expanded the collection to include guides on birds and flowers, cementing the manual’s legacy as a comprehensive reference.

This edition presents Wang Gai's original compilation in its entirety, excluding the later-added figure painting by Ding Hezhou. It merges all four volumes into a portable 654-page treasure.

Contents:

  • Volume I: Trees and Rocks Manual
  • Volume II: Figures, Houses, and Landscape Samples
  • Volume III: Orchid, Bamboo, and Plum Manuals
  • Volume IV: Chrysanthemums, Birds, and Flowers Painting Samples

Specifications:

  • Publisher: Shanghai Book Store Publishing House(2016 edition, the 6th print in 2024) 
  • Dimensions: 8-1/8" x 5-9/16"
  • Total Pages: 654

Henry Li’s Personal Recommendation:

"This book marks the beginning of my Chinese painting journey. In the summer of 1974, my mother borrowed Volume III for me, and I became captivated. I spent the entire summer painstakingly copying each page with transparent paper. Later, I practiced from a hand-painted rice paper copy by my mentor, Han Shaoying—pages I still treasure today."

As a seasoned Chinese brush painting instructor, I highly recommend this manual for both beginners and advanced students of Chinese painting and sumi-e. It is truly the mother of all Chinese painting textbooks.

While you may have amassed other Chinese brush painting resources, omitting this manual leaves a significant gap in your collection. The full Chinese edition of the Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting contains hundreds of illustrative pages—far surpassing the widely known English translation by Mai-mai Sze. I suggest obtaining both the Chinese original and the English edition to fully immerse yourself in the rich artistry and invaluable guidance this manual offers.

For any artist aiming to build a strong foundation in Chinese painting, this timeless manual remains an essential companion.

Great quality case and keyboard
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
Super good quality case, I was actually surprised since it’s such a good price. It fit my 10.9 inch perfectly! Keyboard has magnetic attachment to the case which is super handy, and it connected with Bluetooth seamlessly. Keyboard isn’t silent, it’s on the louder side, but not too loud at all and it doesn’t bother me at all because I prefer clickier keyboards. Oh also something that’s really cool is that you can change the colors of the keyboard, love that!

Amazing!
Color: Midnight Green
The Hamile Keyboard Case for iPad (11th & 10th Generation) is a practical accessory for turning your iPad into a more laptop-like setup. Designed with a detachable wireless keyboard and protective case, it’s aimed at students, professionals, and anyone who types frequently on their tablet. One of its most appealing features is the 7-color backlit keyboard, which makes typing easier in low-light environments while also adding a customizable, stylish look. The backlighting can usually be adjusted in brightness and color, making it both functional and fun to use. The keys are generally responsive and comfortable enough for everyday typing tasks like emails, notes, and document work. The case itself provides decent protection for the iPad, helping guard against scratches and minor bumps. It also holds the tablet at a stable viewing angle, which is useful for video calls, studying, or streaming. The wireless connection is typically simple to set up via Bluetooth, and the keyboard can be detached when not needed.
