Lotus (Ten Bamboo Studio)
Pictures by Hu Zhengyan
A white lotus with blush-tipped petals opens beside a broad green leaf, from Hu Zhengyan's Ten Bamboo Studio, a book printed in colour in Nanjing in 1633. The lotus grows from the mud of the pond yet blooms clean and white, an old picture of peace. For someone who could use a quiet moment.
