The Zen Art Box: The Art of Enlightenment: 40 Exquisite Reproductions, Each with Art Commentary and Zen Teaching Hardcover – 16 Oct. 2007

It's a thing of beauty. The artworks are exquisitely produced, ideal for framing etc. Highly recommended if you would like to add a touch of Zen to your living-room. Bargain price too.

Absolutely loved this second book in the series! Coloring it was fun! Hopefully the next one in the series will come out soon!

Poor reproductions and not worth it. Do not buy it. I threw it away.

The Zen Art Box is one of those combination products -- you can read and learn or "do" and learn -- and it provides the opportunity to understand the art of Zen as well as to try your hand at creating Zen art either for the practice of Zen as a religious exercise or just for the fun of it. I purchased this book because Stephen Addiss was involved in the creation of the product. Addiss is an educator and has translated many books of Haiku. I added it to my personal collection.

The Zen Art Box is a visually appealing, self-contained mini-gallery of sorts. Famous, traditional paintings by a variety of monks and Zen artists are faithfully reproduced on glossy cards, which contain full details on the back.The set is ideal for art teachers, painters, and fans of gorgeous coffee table literature.While it's not the most scholarly of "texts," it's a visual feast for those curious about, or already in love with, the minimalism and simplicity of Zen artwork.It includes a card display stand.

all this beauty in one box...wonder-filled! it came just as promised - the condition and the mailing time. it is better than the description provided and it accompanies tea ceremonies and gentle conversation perfectly.
