 Recently, we made a trip to visit Dong Ho village with a desire to meet the old artisan - Nguyen
Huu Sam. Just when we arrived at the dyke in the village and talked with the villagers about the
artisan, they intimately told us about him.
The old house owned by the artisan is situated in a long alley of the village. On the walls of the house
there are many folk paintings in different genres, from daily life paintings to landscape paintings
shown in a set of “four seasons” and "four times".
Mr. Sam told us about his past. When he was three years old, he was instructed in the craft of making
Dong Ho paintings by his father. At five, he could help his father apply the Dong Ho paintings, and
learn how to print the paper with proper colors. At seven, he was able to draw with a pen and make
the most difficult samples. Years went by and the soul of Dong Ho folk paintings has kept seashell
powder paint to the poonah-paper.
In the 1940s, this craft flourished. At that time, he was assigned by his parents to take the paintings to
the market for sale. Mr. Sam said that 17 families in the village have been engaged in making Dong
Ho paintings.
Artisan Sam has always been devoted to the making of Dong Ho paintings and has waited for
opportunities to restore this traditional craft. In 1967, when the local authorities assigned him to
restore the traditional genre of Dong Ho folk paintings, he gathered 50 villagers with professional
skills and collected hundreds of woodblocks to establish the Dong Ho Painting Cooperative. Thanks to
his efforts, such famous paintings as “Rat’s wedding”, “Rooster”, “Scene of jealousy” and “Writing
verses about precious flowers” have been revived. Dong Ho paintings have been available in many
