② 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
