This painting shows children playing blindman's buff in a garden, a lighthearted variation on the popular Chinese theme of children at play, which carried an auspicious wish for a family's future generations. Scenes of boys engaged in games — vastly popular from the Ming dynasty onward as the 'hundred boys' or baizitu motif — expressed hope for a flourishing household with many descendants to carry on ancestral rites. The garden setting adds a note of leisured domestic comfort to the game's playful energy.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

The quality here is well beyond what I paid for it. The smallest marks in children playing blindman are still visible, which is the entire point. The materials are noticeably better than the last two things I ordered online. The high desert dries everything out and this has not cracked or curled.
Really glad it worked out. Thanks for writing something this specific, it helps other people decide. Best, Ines
Good value for something this size. The subject of children playing blindman is what sold me, and it delivers. Four stars, and the fifth comes if they add more sizes.
Thank you for coming back for another one. Repeat customers are the best compliment we get.
Everything about this went better than I hoped. The tones across children playing blindman are even and true right to the corners. It washed up beautifully on cold and came out looking new. It makes the entryway feel like somebody with taste lives here. My mother has strong opinions about how a house should look, and even she liked this one.
It arrived two days after I ordered, which I did not expect. There is a life to children playing blindman here that flat reproductions usually kill. Worth every dollar and then some. 😍
My honest reaction when I opened it was a shrug. The colors in children playing blindman are close to right and a little cool for my taste. It fills the space and that is the whole story.
