The elegance of Moth-eaten Books lies in Jiang’s profound creative thinking and his consummate skills. Each element in his creation has undergone comprehensive and integrated consideration. It took him two years to accomplish this huge project, and during this time he spent a lot of time in Suzhou and worked with senior printmaking workers who did not do much but are experienced in the control of the watermark pigment. Jiang Chao has completed a total of 10 sets of works with nearly 900 individual works in the past two years.
