Loquats
Pictures by Hu Zhengyan
A branch of ripe golden loquats among long green leaves, from Hu Zhengyan's Ten Bamboo Studio, a book printed in colour in Nanjing in 1633. Loquats ripen at the start of summer, and their syrup is still a favourite Chinese remedy for a cough. For someone who could use a little sweetness and care.
