Kitchen Gods, Ông Công Ông Táo – Vietnamese Tradition Art Print by Bao Quyen

This artwork is an original illustration by Bao Quyen, printed on high-quality textured paper (270g) for a refined, tactile finish that enhances colour depth and delicate details.

Inspired by the Vietnamese tradition of Ông Công Ông Táo, this illustration reflects the custom of releasing live golden fish into rivers, lakes, or ponds as part of the annual celebration. According to belief, the fish carry the Kitchen God’s spirit, accompanying him on his journey back to heaven to report on the household’s deeds from the past year.

By releasing the fish, families hope to ensure a smooth, safe, and successful journey, bringing blessings, harmony, and good fortune for the year ahead. This ritual symbolizes gratitude, renewal, and the connection between the earthly and spiritual worlds.

This art print honors a meaningful cultural practice, transforming tradition into contemporary visual storytelling.

Perfect as cultural wall art, a seasonal gift, or a reflective decorative piece for those drawn to Vietnamese folklore and rituals.
