DiaporamaCarved fan with plum-blossom painting

Jin Xiya was the most accomplished bamboo carver in modern China. Bamboo’s pliability makes it an ideal surface for reproducing the subtlety of brush and ink via carving, and for this reason the practice was seen as a companion to painting and an elegant pastime for a scholar-artist. This fan and the wrist rests in this case reveal both the expressive potential of the medium and Jin’s unique vision.
