Each print is made entirely by hand, from the drawing and engraving of the blocks to the printing, and its themes – wishes for happiness, scenes of daily life, history and worship – have made it the traditional image of Têt, the Lunar New Year. In December 2025, UNESCO inscribed this craft, which is still perpetuated by only a few families, on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 27 × 36 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOrientation: Portrait (vertical)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTechnique: woodblock print (wood engraving), hand-printed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSupport: dó paper coated with shell powder (điệp)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNatural pigments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSigned with the seal of artisan Nguyễn Hữu Đạo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold unframed\u003c\/strong\u003e – the framing shown in the lifestyle photos is for illustrative purposes only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Đông Hồ village, Thuận Thành, Bắc Ninh province, Vietnam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VietArt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59742095868252,"sku":"DH011","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1021\/4365\/6284\/files\/DH011-estampe-dong-ho-tao-quan-1.jpg?v=1793685095","url":"https:\/\/vietart.eu\/en\/products\/estampe-dong-ho-genies-du-foyer-tao-quan","provider":"VietArt ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
