Product Description:
This beautiful picture book depicts life and culture in ancient China from the view of a river, which is one of the main modes of transportation. “South by boat, north by horse”, is an old Japanese saying which accurately describes transportation in ancient China. This book not only gives a glimpse of how important the river was, but also how the river was incorporated into the hearts of the villages. This book is illustrated by Mitsumasa Anno who wanted to replicate Along the River, a treasured artist’s illustration of ancient China, which can now be found in the Palace Museum. The images or illustrations on each page do not include any words. A description for each scene can be found in the back of the book. Includes 21 two-page paintings, 55 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
