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.

Nice toy
Size: Large (Pack of 1)
This product is generally durable and easy to throw. However, the original rope knot came undone after just four throws, per my wife. Unfortunately, my knot-tying skills are limited to fishing knots and slip knots, which is on me. While I can't give a perfect score, I believe it deserves a 4.5 out of 5 stars due to the knot issue. A simple solution would be to apply heat shrink tubing over the knot and heat it to secure it, which would enhance its reliability and potentially elevate the rating to a perfect five stars.

Our German Shepherd loves it!
Size: Large (Pack of 1)
Order arrived promptly and in good condition. Our GSD barely let us get it out of the package before wanting to play with it. Works great as training reward and for fetch games. Been using it for three weeks, and it is holding up well.

I think this family company improved the strength of the rope staying in the ball
Size: Large (Pack of 1)
I bought two of these balls when I needed to replace my old ones. After I got them I decided to read some reviews and I noticed people were complaining about their rope pulling through easily and their dog chewing through the rope fast. First of all this strictly is a ball for reward and yes tug as a reward while training mostly working dogs and sport dogs so the rope is designed perfectly for that reason. It’s not a chew toy. And as for the rope pulling through easily. I have a big male shepherd over 100 lbs who I was participating in a dog sport with a lot of Really strong tugging and this ball stood up to it perfectly. I think they must have taken advice from the reviews and improved the b-ball if people were having the issue of the rope coming out and someone had suggested putting a piece of something inside the ball to hold the rope in better and now there is one so I would feel fine about suggesting this ball as a reward and training ball. My dog loves them!
