This article was originally published as part of the AAJA Voices program. It can be read here. In a bright Brooklyn apartment, young professionals gather around a large wooden table, learning to work with natural dyes and the bamboo pens traditionally used in making kalamkari, an ancient artform from rural Andhra Pradesh in southeastern India. Artisans have practiced these techniques for generations in making tapestries and saris, yet kalamkari — literally “pen work” — has found new life in New York City, carried forward, in some cases, by people who had never been exposed to the culture around it before....

Known for their breathtaking illuminated displays, lantern festivals serve as celebrations of community, good luck, and new beginnings. Although particularly common in Asia — especially during New Year’s celebrations — lantern festivals occur worldwide. These scenic and often lively events usually feature live performances, tasty eats, and local artisans. The lanterns are often handmade, culturally traditional works of art that decorate and radiate light. There are also those glowing yet simpler lanterns that attendees cast into the sky, which make for captivating, beautiful, awe-striking moments and memories. Go To Article

In Jianghan district of Wuhan, Hubei province, Wu Youquan, an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of traditional guqin making, has spent over two decades transforming himself from a timber merchant into a master luthier, a maker of stringed instruments. Born in 1972 in Tuanfeng, Hubei, the craftsman has adhered to the philosophy of "approaching guqin making with the attitude of creating art", becoming a pioneer in reviving the long-lost technique of crafting silk-stringed Chinese parasol-wood guqin. The guqin is a traditional Chinese plucked string instrument with a history of over three thousand years. It is also known as the "seven-stringed zither" and symbolizes the essence of ancient Chinese literati and scholars. Go To Article

The artificial display foods known as shokuhin sampuru that fill restaurant windows across Japan represent a fascinating innovation with nearly a century of history, showing how a uniquely Japanese craft evolved into an entire industry and pioneered a revolutionary form of visual communication. Sampuru first originated in the 1920s, when rapid modernization in Japan drew masses of rural workers into the cities, creating a new class of urban diners who found themselves bewildered by restaurant culture itself. Department stores began opening cafeterias to serve these new city workers, many from farming backgrounds who struggled not only with traditional city dishes they’d never encountered, but also with exotic Western imports like spaghetti and hamburgers that were becoming fashionable among the urban elite populations....
