Broad green banana leaves rise beside a pale garden rock in this colour woodblock print by Hu Zhengyan, from the Ten Bamboo Studio book printed in Nanjing in 1633. Chinese poets loved the sound of rain falling on wide banana leaves, and this quiet scene keeps that feeling close. For someone who loves gardens, old prints or a peaceful moment.
