Chinese Tradition

Step into the vivid world of Woodblock New Year Prints (木版年画) — a traditional Chinese folk art once used to celebrate the Lunar New Year with colour, luck, and meaning. These hand-carved, brightly printed works were not just art; they were symbols of protection, prosperity, and storytelling, passed down through generations.

Now, in New Zealand’s multicultural and artistic landscape, this ancient practice is being reinterpreted by Kiwi artists, educators, and cultural communities. From printmaking studios in Wellington to Lunar New Year festivals in Auckland and Christchurch, woodblock New Year prints are making a comeback — not just as beautiful décor, but as a deeply symbolic cross-cultural dialogue.

With rising interest in heritage art, slow print techniques, and East Asian aesthetics, Aotearoa is embracing 木版年画 in ways both traditional and modern. They’re being used in:

Art exhibitions and gallery installations exploring identity and diaspora

School and university programs teaching cultural literacy through hands-on printmaking

Local design markets showcasing sustainable, hand-crafted giftware

Collaborations between Māori and Chinese artists focused on whakapapa and pattern-based storytelling

This resurgence is more than nostalgic — it’s a statement. A statement that even in a digital world, people still crave human touch, cultural richness, and ritual connection.

Experience the quiet beauty of traditional craftsmanship through this 螺钿木梳 — a handmade comb crafted from fine wood, delicately inlaid with nacre (mother-of-pearl) using the ancient Chinese technique known as 平脱 (pingtuo). Repeatedly varnished and sanded to a flawless finish, this comb is not just a grooming tool, but a work of living heritage.

In New Zealand, where there's a strong movement toward natural, sustainable self-care products and a resurgence of interest in slow-made artisan crafts, this comb offers powerful inspiration. The nacre reflects light like Pāua shell, offering a subtle local resonance for Kiwi audiences attuned to traditional Māori design and the ocean's treasures.

This piece speaks to the growing appetite in Aotearoa for goods that are ethical, tactile, and deeply meaningful — appealing to collectors, gift-seekers, and creatives who value craftsmanship over mass production. Whether displayed on a vanity or cherished as a cultural keepsake, this comb connects New Zealand viewers to a broader Asia-Pacific narrative of beauty, patience, and handcraft.
