Story Three Hundred and Fifty-Nine · Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

The Medicine Monk

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: on a sunny day outside a country temple, a shaven-headed wandering monk in a patched robe sits on a stone against the whitewashed wall, holding a tiny pill between his fingers, while a cheerful man in a soft cap and long gown bends toward him with an open hand; a gourd hangs from a staff leaning on the wall, with a stone lion, the temple gate and an old pine nearby.
