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.

Unbelievable results even for a skeptic like me!
I honestly don't know what witchcraft this brand uses, but I was given their eye patches as a gift and could not believe how well they worked. I am hugely skeptical, usually only believe really in actual Botox, plastic surgery, etc. So I thought the eye patches would be a waste of time. But I put them one one morning when my under eye area was all wrinkled and dried up like a prune. They were MAGIC. Then recently I saw these masks and thought I'd better try them. I have EXTREMELY SENSITIVE skin, to the point where I need regular dermatological care and can't use ANYTHING on my face. My cheeks burn and are red and like sandpaper ALL the time. But I put this mask on around 7 AM when my skin was at its most calm and non-red. I left it on for about 50 mins. Unbelievable results. My whole face is moisturized, nothing hurts, everything looks tight but feels lovely. Really impressed. I'll try to take pics next time and edit this.

Best mask ever used.
I am amazed by this mask! I used last night for the first time and am seeing smoother skin this morning! I've used a few other masks, to include a very expensive one that promises immediate results, but none of them compare to what I am seeing this morning! I subscribed to receive these on an ongoing basis and am so glad I did.

Worked great for my skin
First time I used this face mask was after a 10 minute Vitamin C 'peel' and application of 1.5%glycolic acid (with a facial pad). Left it on for about 45 minutes at which point the mask felt 'dry'. My skin felt so soft afterwards- it literally absorbed all of the moisturizing elements. Easy to apply and stayed put until removed. Highly recommend!

Effective and easy to apply
Been using for a a month and really like the way my skin feels as well as some of the blemishes that have gone away. Easy to take on a trip and easy to apply. Only downside is I wish it was for the entire face and not partial.
