Artisan Dang Van Hau, who makes traditional figurines, shares: “The difficulty in developing this profession is to maintain and enhance the traditional image of national folk culture. On the one hand, I develop designs to suit the times, on the other hand, I want to restore traditional figurines because they have a very high national character.”

The booth displayed many traditional figurines, the artisan added: “Normally, when people buy to he for their children to play with, the artistic value of the product is only moderate. But when designed as a gift, it needs to be sophisticated, beautiful in terms of art, and beautiful in terms of national cultural stories. When tourists bring this gift back to their country, it will be meaningful.”
