Publisher Description:
This coloring book contains 89 images of white things, printed on white paper. Is one to fill in these images with a white crayon? Or is one to let go of the crayon and practice the Taoist concept of wu-wei (actionless action)?

Why color white objects white?

  • White is the absence of color which contains all colors.
  • It's easy to keep within the lines.
  • It helps one to focus on process, not results.
  • It fulfills Zen Master Han-Shan's invitation to "leap the world's ties and sit among the white clouds."
  • It is a rejection of artifice, an unveiling of the void.
  • It is an antidote to art theory.
Why not color white objects white?
  • In Zen terms, the absence of coloring contains all coloring.
