About Hàng Trống Folk Print
Hàng Trống folk prints come from the print shops of Hanoi's Old Quarter, where a single fine black woodblock keyline was stamped onto cool mulberry (dó) paper, then hand-coloured with translucent pigment washes. The documented palette is bright and inviting — vermilion red, indigo blue, gamboge yellow, soft mineral green — each wash floating inside a delicate ink outline.
This system carries that craft into the screen: a clean cool-white paper ground, saturated-yet-translucent folk pigments, and the indispensable keyline black that holds every shape together. Symmetry, devotional motifs, and ornate framed panels define its rhythm.
