• Sơn Mài Lâm Phát- Handicapped & Handicraft - The art of lacquerware (nghề sơn mài) as a decorative technique likely originated from China during the first century CE. Lacquer is actually the resin of a tree, mixed with colored pigments and solvents, and applied in layers to an object’s surface, resulting in a shiny and durable finish. Additional materials, such as eggshell and gold leaf, may be added before the lacquer is applied, with the final product being sanded to reveal the decoration beneath. The high-quality resin from Vietnamese lacquer trees, particularly those in Phú Thọ in the north, was a key factor in the rapid development of this art form, which gained popularity at the court of Đại Việt during the feudal period. Decorated lacquer statues, panels, boxes, and trays, some dating back to the Lê era (1428-1527), can still be seen at many temples and pagodas throughout the country.
