Vietnamese lacquer (sơn mài) Animated HTML website template

The sample page

Từng Giọt. Sơn mài workshop and gallery in Hanoi’s Old Quarter.

The idea

The workshop’s lacquer sign becomes its own sample: sand through the black and the vermilion brush jar, the gold leaf and the eggshell surface layer by layer.

What to try

Move your cursor (or rub with a finger) over the black sign to sand it layer by layer, then hit “Polish it again” to re-lacquer it.

Cultural notes

• True sơn mài technique: coats of lacquer, sanding that reveals gold, silver and eggshell, then a final polish.
• Verified Vietnamese diacritics; no conical hats, war imagery or religious symbols.
• Text always sits on the plain wall or on lacquer with no picture behind it.
