Seal Script Acrylic Rubber Stamp - 无事 (when one's free)

According to Kebin Feng, a famous scholar during Ming dynasty, there are "thirteen rules" when it comes to tea-drinking —— the best time to enjoy the tea. The first rule to enhance the enjoyment of drinking tea is to drink when we're free (一无事). 

“春有百花秋有月，夏有凉风冬有雪。若无闲事挂心头，便是人间好时节”

"There are blooming flowers in Spring, brightest moon in Autumn, cool breeze in Summer and snow in Winter; the best "season" in life is when we are at ease and have no worries."

无事 (wú shì) —— not busy, not doing anything planned or important, free from worry or awkwardness

A Chinese seal or hanko is a seal or stamp features name or character that is used to prove authorship on documents and arts. Not limited to name seal, a seal can contain the person's personal philosophy, literary inclination, favourite poetic phrase or unique motif with intricate designs. It's a symbolic of identity, status, and culture. 

Traditionally seals are made of stones, sometimes of wood, metal and bamboo. Seal-craving requires a mastery of both skills in the art of calligraphy and carving for engraving every single character or motif onto the tiny surface by hand.

Seal script is one of the styles in calligraphy and have been widely used on seals. Although seal script long ago has departed from everyday use, it still survives and flourishes today on the basis of its exceptional artistic qualities.
