The time-honored woodblock New Year paintings boast an ancient heritage and unique charm, with simple and unsophisticated shapes, bold and vigorous lines. All the pigments used are elaborately processed and developed from natural plants and ores, featuring bright and vivid colors that remain unfaded for years. Rooted in traditional culture, their themes mainly include door gods, as well as motifs reflecting people’s wishes for peace, good fortune, smooth weather and a bumper harvest.

During the experience, you will visit the New Year Painting Museum, where skilled craftsmen will explain the intricate production process of these paintings and the secrets of the natural pigments derived from nature. We will guide you to personally experience monochrome rubbing and coloring of woodblock New Year paintings — and the artwork you create with your own hands can be taken home as a precious souvenir of this ancient craft.
