Mystic Calligraphy: Writing in the East is held to be a gift from the gods; the divinely inspired characters, such as these Buddhist calligraphy symbols, are objects of the highest veneration.

Mystic Calligraphy Om

Traditional Chinese painters aimed at capturing the inner essence of the visual form through the rhythmic movement of their brushstroke on silk or paper, attuned to transmit the invisible forces of the universe – the Tao that pervades the world that we inhabit. The paintings reveal the workings of the Tao through the vitality and expressiveness of their brushstrokes and the harmonious rhythm of composition. Handstitched open-back spines with silky matte laminated paper covers over boards.

Coverings for writing have been in existence for almost as long as writing itself. The earliest printed books were issued by their printers in unbound sheets; those who purchased them arranged to have the sheets bound according to their individual tastes. By the 1500s, this fine binders’ craft, referred to as "finishing" leather covers, involved skillful tooling and gilding, lettering, and embellishing of both the outside and inside covers. The books became secondary to their bindings. The Smythe Sewn Fanfare journal in this collection of fine bindings was commissioned by French book collectors and bibliophiles during the 16th century, and this one is reproduced from the remarkable book collection of the Bodleian Library at Oxford.
