Maomao & Jinshi Ink-Wash Balcony Desk Mat – The Apothecary Diaries

Maomao has a basket of herbs to deliver and Jinshi has, once again, found a reason to stand in her way. This Maomao and Jinshi desk mat paints the moment like an old scroll, all soft greens and grey ink.

Maomao and Jinshi on the balcony, ink-wash desk mat

In the middle panel Maomao, in a green jacket and plum skirt, carries a wicker basket on her back and looks up at Jinshi, who leans towards her in dark blue robes. They stand at a wooden railing under a twisted tree, with misty green foliage behind. Grey ink figures frame the scene: two ladies of the court on the left and a robed courtier on the right. It is the rear palace as Maomao sees it: work to do, and a beautiful distraction.

For a calm desk

The muted palette suits a work desk as well as a gaming setup, from 60 × 30 cm up to the full 100 × 50 cm. It sits well beside the Maomao and Jinshi three-panel mat from the same line. A quiet gift for a fan of the series' slower, scroll-painting moods.
