Guangming Bookhouse

Beauty as heritage,
books as nourishment

A small bookhouse on an old street, keeping old books, rubbings and albums.
Push the door open and read a page in quiet.

1985

Pale ink for snow on Cold Mountain, an old man walking alone in search of the Way — after the line “walking on to where the water ends”.

1981

Colour on silk — withered lotus and two egrets on an autumn pond, tonal range close to ochre; still, and yet alive.

1976

Dry, scorched ink for the ancient tree, pale washes for the secluded bamboo — one withered, one flourishing, with depth and moisture at once.

Since it opened in ××, Guangming Bookhouse has kept one street, one lamp and one shelf of books.

"Books are slow, and so is light. May this place slow you down."
— The keeper of the Bookhouse
