Dó paper has become more popular among younger artists nowadays. I have used it and it feels like somewhat between cloth and paper. It's also great with watercolor if you don't do much layering. Dó paper is offered in many different thickness, sizes and colors.

Everyone talks about preserving culture & traditional Crafts like this but because of todays economic conditions not many people want to do this kind of work because it's not financially beneficial I hope there's a way to preserve this beautiful craft. 😭maybe they could do classes where people could learn them or make their own yt channel & show the process

I am Korean and I love Vietnamese culture. I like Vietnamese food and traditional clothes the most. Let's hope that the beautiful traditions of Vietnam will continue!

I’d love to learn and/or support so many of the artisans featured in these videos. I wish there was an easier way to connect these small businesses with interested people who are watching

I’m now 19 and this is the 1st time i’ve heard about Vietnamese handcrafted paper tradition. Yes, im a Vietnamese and never knew this was a thing… until now. Crazy!

I would hope that the local artists continue to support the traditional crafters. It is great way to keep the trade alive.

Thank you for bringing this craft to light. I am Vietnamese and did not even know about this.

Being born here in America, I'm glad my parents made my siblings & I speak only Vietnamese at home. I can speak & understand Viet the only thing I need to learn it to learn how to write in Vietnamese. I love to learn all the history from all different cultures! ❤️

Thanks BI for bringing such qualified documents As a Vietnamese, I don’t know such things still exist until watching your documents. I do hope that more and more videos about Vietnam traditional & cultural stuffs will be produced in the future. Pls pay your attention more to the southern area too where you can find wonderful sources of content❤

Chân thành cảm ơn đội ngũ Business Insider.

I would like to see traditional Vietnamese, Japanese, and Chinese kites made from this paper, hand painted with traditional designs by local artists. Very light, and very artistic kites, that could fly on the lightest breeze.

I seen some potential for this paper as gift wrapper or wrapper alternative to plastics such as furushiki since many young people becoming environmentally friendly.

It is so fascinating to see this craft still going. We should not forget the past

Papermaking has a very long history, and I have to sigh the wisdom of ancient people. After reading it, I feel amazing. I hope that more traditional culture can be known to future generations and can be well protected and inherited.

Hade Making Stuff Is The best We Love Buisness insider For Traveling the globe to get these storys and motivations

Very insightful! Really loving the recent stuff that has been coming from this segment! Great job!!

That "Chair"? The throne he casually sits at suggests a true patron of master woodworking. $0.02 nice.

I always watch your vids everytime you guys upload a new one esp this category. Thank you and more power

Love the respectfulness from Business Insider 🐁

i love these types of episodes..thank you for educating us

I have Ethiopian roots and took the initiative to learn more about Ethiopian history and while there aren't many sources I could find one thing I learned about was the habesha kemis (traditional Ethiopian dress) I remember seeing a religious painting dating as far back as the 15th century depicting people a religious figures wearing these traditional dresses. I asked my mom about it who was born a raised in he capitol city of Addis Ababa and she told me about the unique hand woven cotton and the handmade telet used to add colour and personality to an otherwise simple dress. She also told me about how due to her skin sensitivity to polyester fabrics wearing these types of dresses to church (as many people even in western cities still do to this day) can become a bit of a hassle. Due to the lightweight cotton threads used to weave the panels of fabric the finished product comes out quite sheer, there have been different methods of maintaining modesty whilst wearing the dress such as layering the skirt with more of the raw, organic hand made cotton material or even silk however, because of high material cost and hard the physical labour put in to making the fabrics more and more dress makers opt to use a cheap polyester material to line the skirt often affecting the fit and feel of the finished product making it more uncomfortable to wear, especially for the women who wear these dresses to church where mass lasts a minimum of 3-4 hours. This issue, in my opinion, is adversely affecting women in larger cities who don't readily have access to Ethiopian dress makers and instead have to order dresses sight unseen months in advance and wait up to a year to then receive the dress in the mail only to then have to figure out if the dresses fit and if their comfortable enough to wear and what types of modifications have to be made. whereas if they lived in Ethiopia would have the ability to speak to the weavers face to face a negotiate extra fabric to be made or even have the supplies and materials to do the weaving themselves at home.

I love Vietnamese culture, love from India....

As a vietnamese, i has yet known this tecnique until seeing video

Very interesting! I enjoyed learning about this.

I hope this craft is kept alive into the future, it is worthy of saving and may actually be needed. The old ways should always be remembered and preserved. We never know when they will be needed again, this world is relying on something that could easily fail and be taken away.

I don't need these type of papers, but I would gladly support him and donate his craft to people who need his products.

Although I am a young man in the same province of artisans in this video, only about 20 km (12.5 miles) from my place, I have never heard of this paper. Perhaps their products are not for everyone. Thanks BI.

As a Vietnamese, I hope this traditional craft will last forever but sadly it's hard when young people show they don't care about preserve it. Unfortunately, these traditional crafts have been faded away.

I love paper crafts. Paper is one of the most versatile materials. Is this paper exported? How can overseas people buy this paper?

I love to watch all these videos. They sure open my eyes to so many things which are disappearing that we as a world need to try to preserve. Who cares about machine made when handmade is so much better? So many jobs have been lost to machines and prices have only risen, not gone down. It takes away the pride in doing a job when all you're doing is pushing a button.

Wow learn something I never knew of my Vietnamese traditions

Nothing compares to hand crafted items. Hopefully your country will see you as valuable and help you survive and thrive.

Thank you for telling us about this wonderful paper! My mother is an historian and is thrilled to receive letters from me on Zo paper. She especially loves the history behind it. I will definitely buy more for my letters.

Vietnam is an innovative country--well done! 👏

Hey Team Business Insider; i have a request of please checking out the dhokra art of chattisgarh, India as it is the very left form of art alive now in this Modern World. 🥺

Love this subject matter.

The amount of effort into making this paper is crazy.

That’s so sad to hear his kids don’t want to learn it. I know it’s hard but if my mom taught me more Vietnamese traditions I’d be really happy to learn and know cause I always feel a disconnect even though I am Vietnamese. We celebrate New Years and we cook traditional Vietnamese food but we don’t talk about history like this. I’d love to learn something like this if my parents wanted to teach me it.

Main, from Ascendance of a Bookworm, would definitely love this!

Excellent Art 👍👍

I need some sent to my house asap ! Perseverance

You should have seen my grandniece and grandnephew watching this video while holding the paper in their hands. Bravo to all who keep the art alive and to the parents who encourage their kids to learn and appreciate beauty!

Beautiful paper 📃 I'd like to have some! I really want to learn how to make it!

❤️ Thank you!!!!

We need to understand that being at the top of the pyramid of creation means that everything we do trickles down the structure, from top to bottom. When it reaches the bottom, the inanimate level of reality, from which everything grows, it changes it. If we ooze ill-will, it creates negative changes throughout the system, which manifest in increasingly extreme climatic and geological events. In other words, when human relationships go out of balance, everything goes out of balance. When our relations become extreme, everything becomes extreme; when we become violent, everything becomes violent. Each summer, the ramifications of the linkage between our relations and our world become more extreme, until we acknowledge that everything that exists, exists in a connected, hierarchical system and that whoever is at the top determines the state of the rest of the system. It is not as if previously, we were better people than we are today. It is simply that there were fewer people, and therefore fewer elements that exude ill will. Also, relationships between people in the past were less toxic than they are today. While there are fewer wars today than ever, the levels of suspicion and alienation between people are skyrocketing, to the point where people can no longer trust their own family members. As a result, wars between countries are rarer than ever, but divorce rates, domestic violence, and violence in the community, are at an all-time high. Even the internet, which we invented purportedly in order to connect people, is being used to abuse, deceive, and exploit people. The world-wide-web proves that everything we create, we use against others. When there is such a negative element in a system, and that element is at the top of the system, how can the entire system not go awry? Therefore, if we want the weather to cool, the sea-level to drop, and the storms to subside, we must cool the fire and calm the storms between us. Mutual concern, mutual responsibility, or at least the knowledge that we are dependent on each other, are necessary in order to restore balance in our world at all levels, from the ground we walk on to the hatred in our hearts.

Thậm chí ko biết giấy dó còn đến ngày nay. Thank you for letting us Vietnamese know a great old tradition still existed

I like how when he brushes the paper the photo starts to appear

I'd love to learn it!

Cool work

Nice video.

Awesome vdo

That paper looks tasty.

I like your video..make me know a lot culture around world

I effing love business insider

Don't let history and it's past be forgotten.

What a beautiful tradition. It would be very sad indeed if it were lost. I wish I could buy some of the paper myself.

BI, thank you a lot for this brilliant video. Despite being a Vietnamese, I did not know about this tradition. The more modern the life is, the more these kinds of craft are getting lost. It's a true, but very sad story. Btw, hope all you guys love this video and Vietnam too. If you have to move to another country for any purposes, Vietnam welcomes you!

Holy macaroni! It looks like super thin cloth, not paper! That's amazing!!! 🤩

This may sound silly, so I apologize in advance, but as she's sieving and creating the sheets, as they're all wet in that big pile, how come they don't end up as one big block all stuck together, how do they retain there separate status? That's my question, thank you.

What can we do to help this tradition alive? Love your channel

super interesting.

this channel deserve 20million subs! i always watching your video

Lots of love from india ❤️❤️❤️

Nice

The women has spoken clearly and grammatically, I think you don’t need to make the subtitles for her.

history living right there

I admire their efforts and if it finds away to modern printers it would be flourish and increasing in volume and will be able to survive

This is cool.

Omg...woww

and this material is good for making clothes, curtains, and umbrellas

Good.

the transition in 4:56 just scratched an itch in me

This would be the best and top of the line of parchment paper when you using it for different religious and spiritual things to write on it's beautiful 💯‼️🎉✨🥳😇🥰🎊📺📺📺📽️💯‼️

WOW

I do this with cotton. I have a old Hollander beater I drug out of an abandoned factory and restored. I make dense paper for high end business card, Invitations, and watermarked papers for corporate documents.

this traditional life is more beautiful, honest and humble than the city destructive soul destroying life

Would love to purchase some for my paintings

I would like to see the profession of huacos (pottery) making process

as someone who loves to find different kinds of paper to make books out of I am really interested in buying these papers. I have yet to check the price and delivery

I hope he gets some students to continue the tradition❤

Can we order? I would like to use this in my painting.

Hopefully you can feature the “Asin Tibook” of Bohol, Philippines

Forests of northern Vietnam! Any US vets here?

I want to learn this tradition may i get the details for their workplace

I want to buy these traditional Vietnamese Do papers someday in 2023 so I can draw and colour pictures of the Megazords.

👏👏

❤️❤️❤️❤️

I hope this ancient art can be saved

Imagine having something that would last 800 years, even if it's just paper, I'd have to find some ink that can last just as long so I can write a dirty joke on it for archeologists to find later.

❤️👏👏

💗💗💗

🙏

One day, If I get to open my own coffee shops I'll contact them to make my menu tp be written on the paper.

To be honest, as I Vietnamese villager, I am not familiar with this craft paper, the village in the video also in urbanization progress and not sure how long can preserve this kind of handicraft works.

They can make master classes for some money and also make tourists groups come there for look and classes and could make much money .

Video appears on my recommendations Me watching the first 5 sec before reading the title: are they panning for gold?

I placed my first order to write letters to my 83-year-old mother and guarantee I will buy more. Literally a sensory experience!

Never let this die

👏👍

Can anyone tell me what is ma' sap mentioned in this video, please?Thank you
