Zen by the Brush: A Japanese Painting and Meditation Set

It is a mini book with 63 pages and was definitely over-priced!! The book shows illustrations with simple stokes, but not to the high level.

I enjoyed mine. I mean, yeah, your not gonna unlock the mysteries of the universe with this little Zen book...but if you really expect instant enlightenment from a fun little kit that you got off the internet, then you are looking in the wrong place. Try a church, or temple or something....so yeah...don't buy this if you are looking for a life changing epiphany or some junk. It's more about fun. However, that's not to say it doesn't have it's depth. There were some things in there that made me think. I enjoyed the painting thing that it comes with. I think that was the best part. It reminded me of when I used to play with water color paints when I was a young girl. It was fun, and yes, relaxing. I think it would make a fantastic gift!
