Kim Hoàng painting

Kim Hoàng painting (Vietnamese: Tranh Kim Hoàng) is a genre of Vietnamese woodcut paintings originating from Kim Hoàng village of Hoài Đức, Hanoi, Vietnam. In the past, Kim Hoàng painting was a popular element of the Tết holiday, together with Đông Hồ and Hàng Trống paintings, but this tradition was lost in the middle of the 20th century and today several authentic Kim Hoàng paintings are found only in museums or art galleries. However, the art of making Kim Hoàng painting is still considered a symbol of traditional culture and aesthetic value of Vietnam.
