Paper-cutting works serve not only as decoration but also as good-luck charms.

At the age of seven, Dan Bi began his artistic studies with his grandfather, who engaged in Paper-cutting work throughout his life. Proud of this heritage, he spent much time systematically studying Paper-cutting technique and theory. Throughout more than 40 years of continual practice, he has developed cutting techniques to achieve new forms of artistic expression. I wish that more people can know and then appreciate this kind of art. Dan Bi has practiced paper-cutting for over 40 years. He started learning the art at age seven from his grandfather. He uses specialty knives to carve intricate floral, wildlife, and geometric patterns through multiple layers of fine rice paper. His delicate creations are often used as home decorations or traditional good-luck charms. This would be beautiful decor in a children’s bedroom or playroom. The frame has a hook for hanging. See less
