Description
Explore traditional incense stick making on an intimate scale with a small group of people.
Incense plays an important role in the Vietnamese spiritual life as it is used in temples, pagodas, shrines and other worshipping places.
Quang Phu Cau has long been one of the largest incense stick makers in Vietnam. Each stick is the end of a long process, from cutting bamboo shoots to splitting them into smaller rods, then sticks. Red is often the color of the dye, as it represents luck and happiness.
What makes it truly photogenic is when these sticks are dried. Since they’re tied in bundles, the workers would then stand and spread each bundle to make sure the sticks get dried more quickly. Numerous bundles are laid in the yard, each shapes like an umbrella.
