The Chinese writing brush (毛笔) is more than just a tool — it’s a symbol of cultural refinement, artistic discipline, and philosophical balance. With over 2,000 years of history, the 毛笔 has been used to craft poetry, philosophy, and visual masterpieces in the flowing art of Chinese calligraphy.
In New Zealand, there’s a growing appreciation for East Asian arts and crafts, and the 毛笔 is becoming a favourite among Kiwi artists, calligraphy students, educators, and cultural enthusiasts. From Auckland’s Chinese cultural centres to art schools in Wellington and Dunedin, traditional brush techniques are being taught, exhibited, and practiced as part of a broader exploration of identity, mindfulness, and intercultural creativity.
The 毛笔 is valued not only for its historical importance but also for the meditative and expressive qualities it brings to writing and painting. Many New Zealanders are discovering how using a brush — instead of a pen — connects them to a slower, more intentional creative process, often associated with Zen thinking, Tai Chi philosophy, and mindful learning.
Calligraphy and brush painting are also featured in Lunar New Year festivals, Asian heritage weeks, and bilingual education initiatives around Aotearoa, where the brush becomes a bridge between cultures. Whether you're a seasoned ink artist or a curious beginner, learning the art of the Chinese writing brush in New Zealand can be both a deeply personal and culturally rich experience.

Step into the timeless world of Ru Celadon (雨过天青云破处) — a rare and treasured form of Chinese porcelain famed for its delicate blue-green glaze that evokes the colour of the sky after rain. In this video, watch skilled artisans in rural China breathe life into this ancient craft, shaping each piece with reverence and precision.
For viewers in New Zealand, this isn't just a glimpse into another culture — it's an invitation to reconnect with the value of handmade artistry and cultural storytelling. As Kiwis increasingly embrace heritage design, slow living, and artisan homewares, Ru Celadon offers an inspiring alternative to mass-produced ceramics.
New Zealand interior designers, collectors, and potters are finding new appreciation for the soft serenity and minimalist beauty of celadon pottery — especially as it aligns with both Japanese wabi-sabi and Scandinavian simplicity, two trends deeply embedded in the NZ design scene. Whether displayed in a Waiheke Island gallery or used in a Dunedin kitchen, Ru Celadon brings global depth and cultural richness to local living spaces.
This video connects:
Kiwi potters and ceramic artists curious about global glaze techniques
Interior stylists seeking unique pieces with cultural authenticity
NZ collectors drawn to historical significance and fine craftsmanship
Educators and students of Asian art and traditional techniques
Let the colour of the post-rain sky — and the legacy of celadon — inspire a more intentional, artistic way of living in Aotearoa.
