Through the ages Chinese decorative arts, whether functional or purely ornamental, have often featured botanical subjects. From the common bamboo to the exotic Buddha s hand citron, each has cultural significance. Because the Chinese language contains many words that share sounds, botanical images often incorporate traditional sayings in the form of pictorial puns. From album leaves and fan paintings to ceramics, jades, and embroidered silk, these forty-eight cards contain charming tales of Chinese botanical history and folk symbolism paired with superb reproductions of objects in the renowned collection of the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. 3 1/4 x 4 inches.
