Japanese Ink on paper Gibbons Primates & Landscape Notepad

Artwork by Japanese artist, Sesson Shūkei (ca. 1504–ca. 1589) "猿猴捉月図屏風 - Gibbons in a Landscape Artist: Sesson Shūkei (ca. 1504–ca. 1589) Period: Muromachi period (1392–1573) Date: ca. 1570 Culture: Japan Medium: Pair of six-panel screens; ink on paper The gibbon, native to the forested mountains of southern China, is known in Japan only through painting and poetry. In literary contexts, its cry is associated with the elevated spirit of solitude, and in Daoist lore with a superior life force. Japanese Zen monks treasured images of gibbons painted by the Chinese monk Muqi (ca. 1210–after 1269), and by the late fifteenth century paintings of gibbons in the manner of this artist had become a favored subject for screen decoration. Here a chain of gibbons is shown reaching futilely for a reflection of the moon, a symbol of enlightenment. This scene illustrates a fundamental Zen paradox: if one is deliberately or overly anxiously trying to attain enlightenment, then that spiritual path will not lead to true enlightenment. As reflected in the subject matter of many of his paintings, Sesson was a Zen monk-artist. He was a highly learned and prolific painter who studied a wide array of earlier Chinese ink painting styles and played a major role in the creation of a distinctive Japanese style of so-called Zen ink painting."

I used the same ones for my daughter's grad that I am using for my nieces' graduation. Professional looking and inexpensive. One fellow graduate who came over afterwards looked at the table and said , " I wish my mom did made stuff like this for me " That made my night. The printing is very professional. Other wraps looked like paper printing from a hokemade printer. The instructions how to wrap were very easy .

I ordered these custom invoices for my young grand daughter who likes to play ‘Beauty Spa’ with friends and family. She invites them into her ‘salon’ and pampers them with hand and back massages and mini beauty treatments. I was able to design these receipts with her name and favourite colours, and now she feels like a real professional when she has ‘clients’! What fun for all of us! Design and colours all looked just as they did on the computrr screen during the design process.

Had planned an Italian Dinner Party and this notepad worked out perfectly. Was able to print my place cards and also the menu for the evening. Design was excellent with the shape of Italy in the corner, definitely a multi purpose pad and I still have the remainder to enjoy another time. Color and paper quality excellent
