SHI ZHU ZHAI is a brand with a history of over 400 years and represents the highest achievement in Chinese printmaking, setting a milestone in the history of colour printing in the world of art. The name "Ten Bamboo Studio" was originally the name of Hu Zhengyan's studio during the Ming Dynasty (1621-1644). He built his house on the side of Jilong Mountain in Nanjing and planted more than ten bamboo rods in his courtyard, hence the name "Ten Bamboo Studio". He then devoted himself to water-printing and wood engraving, and completed two world-famous painting manuals, the Ten Bamboo Studio Book of Calligraphy and Painting and the Ten Bamboo Studio Book of Memoirs.
