Dong Ho Painting
Dong Ho Painting is a traditional Vietnamese folk art that originated in the Dong Ho village of Bac Ninh province. This unique form of painting is known for its vibrant colors and intricate designs, often depicting scenes from daily life, folklore, and nature. The paintings are typically created using natural materials, such as bamboo paper and vegetable dyes, which contribute to their distinctive appearance.
The process of making Dong Ho Paintings involves hand-printing techniques, where artisans use carved wooden blocks to transfer images onto paper. These artworks are not only decorative but also carry cultural significance, often used during festivals and celebrations to convey good luck and prosperity.
