HANOI, A CAPITAL OF TRADITIONAL CRAFTS
     Hanoi has long been home to hundreds of craft villages. Over the years, many
of the crafts have developed, while some have disappeared altogether. 
     The heart and soul of Hanoi’s vibrant old crafts are its craftsmen and women.
One such couple are Nguyen Van Hoa and his wife Dang Huong Lan of Ba Dinh
District’s Hang Than Street. They are among the few artisans still making
elaborate cardboard masks in order to preserve the traditional culture. 
     Although the work itself requires many steps, the materials required are
simple: newspapers, glue, paint and paintbrushes. The first step entails tearing
the newspapers to pieces and then using glue to combine them into a mold. The
masks are painted one color at a time and then laid out to dry. Cardboard mask
making is therefore dependent on dry weather and the couple can only make
about 2,000 masks per festival. These are priced from VND25.000 to VND35.000
a piece, bringing in VND50-60 million - a sum is not commensurate with the
efforts that go into making these elaborate crafts. 
    Making swans out of cotton is also a traditional craft. Only artisan Vu Thi
Thanh Tam of 79 Hang Luoc Street in the capital makes these swans. The swan
frames are made of notebook paper and are stuffed with cotton, then a skillful
artisan puts each layer of cotton on the swan frames and uses rice water to
smooth them. The swan neck is made of steel wire and is covered by cotton. The
finished product is placed in a rattan basket with cotton around and glass-beads
and silk flowers are added for color. 
    The continuity of traditional crafts adds to the capital’s attractiveness in the
eyes of citizens and international.
1. Who plays role as the heart and soul of Hanoi’s crafts?
=> Craftsmen and women play role as the heart and soul of Hanoi's
crafts.
2. Which traditional craft do Mr. Hoa and his wife preserve?
=> Mr.Hoa and his wife preserve the cardboard masks tradition.
3. How many materials are there to make that craft? What are they?
=> There are 4 materials to make that craft. They are newspaper, glue,
paint and paintbrushes.
4. Which kind of weather does the craft making process depend on?
=> The craft making process depends on dry weather.
5. What are the swan frames made of?
=> The swan frames are made of notebook paper
6. What does the artisan use to smooth the frames?
=> The artisan uses rice water to smooth the frames
7. What is added to color the finished product?
=> Glass-beads and silk flowers are added to color the finished product.
