Hanoi: Space introducing craft of making ‘do’ paper inaugurated in Tay Ho District
The Tay Ho District People’s Committee recently inaugurated a cultural space introducing the traditional craft of making ‘po’ (poonah) paper, which was practiced in the past by people in the Ke Buoi region.
In the past, the Ke Buoi region covered many villages: Ho Khau, Dong Xa, An Tho, Yen Thai, and Nghia Do. The region is famous for making ‘do’ paper, which was used for royal documents, worshipping paintings, and prayer books.

Space introducing craft of making ‘do’ paper inaugurated in Tay Ho District |
‘Do’ paper made by artisans in the Ke Buoi region was famous for its durability which can last for hundreds of years, thanks to the characteristics of the fiber and the entirely handmade production process, without the use of chemicals.
Located at 189 Trich Sai Street, Buoi Ward, Tay Ho District in Hanoi, the space introduces the steps in the production process of ‘do’ paper as well as products made from the unique paper, such as paintings and handicraft products.
The inauguration of the space is part of the Tay Ho District People’s Committee-approved project on building a tourist-cultural destination and restoring the craft of ‘do’ paper making in Buoi Ward.
According to Nguyen Thanh Tinh, Vice Chairman of the District People’s Committee, the project aims to revitalise a traditional craft which was once a pride of people in Buoi Ward, while contributing to promoting tourism development in the locality.
