Talk about a traditional art.

Dong Ho painting
This traditional woodblock print with three-century history is thought to be a special kind folk painting first created by painters in Dong Ho village, Song Ho Commune, Thuan Thanh district of Bac Ninh Province. Dong Ho paintings are manually printed on a typical kind of Dzo paper which is made from back of a tree called “Dzo”. The most interesting feature in making Dong Ho painting is the use of different colors which are refined from various types of natural materials, such as tree leaves, sea shells, etc. Scenes depicted in these paintings vary from those of daily life, seasons of the year, symbols of prosperity and luck, Tet Holiday to piece of worship. All those patterns give us insight into people’s innermost feelings, wishes as well as dreams.
