Thank you for your interest and support over the years. Unfortunately, the store is now permanently closed due to shipping issues and rising costs of doing business post-pandemic. I am keeping the items up as a gallery showcase for archival reasons.

Lantern Festival 2018

Today is Lantern Festival  元宵节. It falls on the 15th of the first month of the lunar new year i.e. the night of the first full moon. It marks the end of Chinese New Year celebrations. Traditional activities include admiring lanterns and the full moon, guessing lantern riddles, eating tangyuan (glutinous rice dumplings), enjoying lion dance and stilt-walking performances.
