This is a study kit for those wishing to learn the ancient Taoist text of the I Ching.
The kit contains display tablets, guidebook, posters, notebook, coins and pencils.
I CHING
The I Ching (pronounced e-jing) is an ancient form of divination, originating in China, using symbols as images to help guide the questions of the participant.
By presenting the I Ching in a new way, this kit aims to offer an additional method of interaction to aid study. The tablets provide continued support once the ‘answer’ is obtained.
By displaying the tablet, the user is able to glance at a snapshot of their answer, reminding them of the profound symbols and words they received.
