Comments:Ten Bamboo Studio Letter Paper was originally edited by Hu Zhengyan in the early 17th century, but a later edition was printed in the 1930s by the historian Zheng Zhenduo and the writer Lu Xun. These pages showing designs of sea creatures in fine colour printing are from a recut edition printed by the Rongbao Studio in Beijing in 1952. Like the original, the pages have been further decorated by using an uninked woodblock to press a raised design into the paper, also known as blind printing. When used as letter paper, the writer inscribes characters over the decoration.
