Five Colors, Four Centuries

Vermilion anchors every composition
The red of celebration, pressed first onto điệp paper — each print begins with the spirit of Tết.
One block holds one character
Jackfruit wood carved by hand — a single blade defines every figure before ink ever touches the surface.
The paper breathes with clamshell light
Điệp dust mixed into mulberry pulp creates a shimmering ground that glows under lamplight at the family altar.
Five brilliant hues, no gradients
Vermilion, indigo, orange, green, and the master black line — bold flat planes that read from across the room.
