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.

No filters, no lash curler tricks — just real results. Does it lift, separate, and hold, or is it just another overhyped launch? Let’s find out.
