THE NARA SINGDE

AP Limited Editions honors NARA SINGDE, the 17th century imperial banner man to Qing dynasty emperor Kangxi in a new Palekh rendition of the great Manchu’s skills at both archery and poetry.

As one of the Qing dynasty’s greatest and youngest contributors to writing and poetry, NARA SINGDE blended his experience protecting distant frontiers of the empire, with his internal nostalgia echoing Buddhist sentiment and the remembrance of an old love.

AP Limited Editions invites you to explore the magic threaded into this Great Manchu’s compositions and find yourself again in new iterations of song, poetry and reminiscence.
