| Description | Dong ho woodblock printing originated in Dong Ho Village, Song Ho Commune, Thuan Thanh District, Bac Ninh Province, about 35 km east of Hanoi. The colors, color processing, printing paper, woodblock carving, and manual printing techniques, as well as the skills of craftspeople give dong ho woodblock printing its famous “naïve soul.” Printing colors, paper, and woodblocks are handcrafted from natural materials. Each color is printed on a separate woodblock, so the number of woodblocks used depends on the number of colors needed. In a multicolor print, craftsmen print colors in the following order: red, green, white, yellow, and finally black. After applying each color, craftsmen hang paintings to dry before printing another color. | ||
