What Makes a Traditional Village in Vietnam So Unique?
1. Deep-Rooted Craftsmanship and Heritage
The traditional handicrafts in Vietnam have a history of hundreds of years, closely associated with the lives of people through many generations. Vietnamese traditional handicrafts such as pottery, silk, sedge, bamboo and rattan weaving... not only reflect sophisticated techniques but also express the unique aesthetic thinking of each region.
The unique point of craft villages in Vietnam lies in the hereditary transfer of knowledge. Artisans often learn the craft from a young age, receiving techniques through stories and the skills of their parents and grandparents. This inheritance creates depth for each product - not simply an object, but a part of the cultural memory preserved in each handmade line.
