Thank you for your interest and support over the years. Unfortunately, the store is now permanently closed due to shipping issues and rising costs of doing business post-pandemic. I am keeping the items up as a gallery showcase for archival reasons.

大雪 (Daxue) Major Snow 7 November 2017

Night Snow

大 雪 (daxue) meaning "Major Snow" is the 21st solar term under the traditional Chinese lunar calendar and the third winter solar term. The weather turns colder and there is a greater possibility of snow, especially heavy snows.

I have copied out Tang dynasty poet 白居易 Bai Juyi's 《夜雪》(Night Snow) with a glass pen and black ink with blue shimmer (the shimmer is hard to photograph).

For those curious, a English translation of the poem is here.
