Here, Latoa Indochine introduces typical works, applying lacquer carving techniques combined with contemporary fine arts, reflecting the new pace of life while still preserving traditional Vietnamese values. These creations inherit the quintessence of Hang Trong, Dong Ho, Kim Hoang folk paintings, while at the same time breathing into them a contemporary breath with meticulous manual techniques through many stages such as making frames, cutting, carving, coating, grinding, polishing and inlaying with gold, silver, and eggshell.

The presence at the 80th anniversary exhibition further affirms Latoa Indochine's efforts in preserving and renewing folk cultural heritage, spreading the spirit of happiness as the name of the exhibition space suggests.
