From Associated Press.

Dong Ho folk paintings have been part of Vietnam’s culture for centuries. The art form is known for its use of separate woodblocks, one for each color, pressed onto paper to create an image. Today, only a small number of artisans continue the practice as they work to preserve the tradition in a rapidly modernizing society. (AP video by Hau Dinh)
