Years ago in Suzhou, Taohuawu woodblock New Year prints were considered a necessity during Chinese New Year. However, over time, these delightful decorations lost some of their standing as a mainstream cultural must-have. Responding to this dilemma, print artist Qiao Mai, a recognized inheritor of this intangible cultural heritage based in Suzhou, decided to go beyond mere preservation, infusing new ideas to reinvigorate the craft.
