Li Mei-shu Art Paper Tape - Long-Tailed Fowl

"Close to Home, Li Mei-shu Art Paper Tape" - Long-Tailed Fowl The pattern on this art paper tape is inspired by Li Mei-shu's ink wash sketch of a long-tailed fowl amongst bamboo, which was later perfectly rendered in stone carving! The success of a stone carving hinges on the completeness and delicacy of the original draft. Therefore, before transferring the design for carving, countless revisions are made to distill complexity into clarity and elegance. Once finalized, artisans meticulously trace the lines. Through this process, the brushstrokes are meticulously transferred into the stone, resulting in intaglio or relief carvings that flow with the grace of a painting. A Glimpse into Stone Carving - Water-Polished Submerged Flowers Stone surfaces of buildings are polished with water rather than being left plain. In the Song dynasty, this was known as plain flat finishing. Line carvings or intaglio on such surfaces are called water-polished submerged flowers.

Located in the Central American isthmus, its volcanic soil is extremely fertile and well-draining. The Central Plateau, in particular, is a coffee-growing region blessed with volcanic terrain, fertile volcanic ash, and mild, suitable temperatures. With stable and abundant rainfall, coffee has become one of its primary agricultural products. All coffee beans are Arabica, known for their pure flavor and pleasant aroma. Tarrazu is widely recognized as a star region. It is located at the highest latitude, with the most excellent climate and soil conditions in Costa Rica. Coffee from this region exhibits remarkable cleanliness, bright acidity, and notes reminiscent of citrus and berries. Its robust flavor leaves a lasting impression on the palate; even after drinking water, the aroma of the coffee bean lingers in the throat, making it unforgettable. ◆ Yirgacheffe Introduction The Yirgacheffe region is located in Ethiopia, the birthplace of Arabica coffee beans. Its name originally meant "Let us settle down in this wet land." At an altitude of 1700-2100 meters, it is one of the highest coffee-producing regions in Ethiopia and is synonymous with Ethiopian specialty beans. In 1972, Ethiopia introduced washing techniques from Central and South America to improve quality. This made Yirgacheffe's jasmine and citrus aromas even clearer and more refined, elevating it to a world-class specialty coffee. The sophisticated washing techniques played a crucial role, and since the 1970s, this region has primarily focused on washed processing, becoming Ethiopia's most sought-after washed bean region. With its rich citrus and floral aromas, the taste is light and elegant. For many, coffee from Yirgacheffe drinks more like Earl Grey tea, unique and delicious.
