Lacquer Painting Building
on the workmanship of bodiless lacquerware, Fuzhou's lacquer
painting has developed into an art
form in its own right. Although just over a decade old, it has
already found great popularity. In lacquer painting the artist
can depict a wide range of subjects and images such as human
figures, flowers, birds, animals and landscapes. Screens and
wall hangings are the major forms this art takes, and are often
bought to decorate hotels, restaurants or villas.
In addition to the above, Fujian also produces paper umbrellas,
lacquer thread carvings and paper-cuttings. Fujian's varied
and beautiful arts and crafts play an important role in the
province's cultural heritage, while also contributing greatly
to the development of both foreign trade and tourism.
