Master Dajin with a Five Thunder Fu — drawn in cinnabar ink
Meet Master Dajin
Master Dajin is a 63rd generation practitioner of Taoist tradition, devoting his practice to the preservation of traditional Taoist Fu Art — a brush-drawn art form passed down through generations within Chinese Taoist culture.
Every piece offered by DAJIN FU STUDIO is drawn by his own hand. Nothing is printed, copied, or delegated.
The Art of Fu
Fu (符) is a traditional form of Chinese brushwork — a composition of symbolic strokes, seals, and structure, built in a single continuous act of drawing. It sits at the meeting point of calligraphy, ritual design, and folk art.
A Fu is not simply written. It is drawn in one uninterrupted sequence: once the brush touches the paper, the piece is completed in a single sitting.
How Each Piece Is Made
1. Preparation — The brush, ink, and paper are prepared before work begins. Cinnabar ink is ground for the occasion.
2. Personalization — The recipient's surname and birth information are written onto the reverse of the piece by hand, in accordance with the traditional method of preparation.
3. The drawing — The Fu is drawn in continuous brushwork, start to finish, without lifting the brush mid-composition.
4. Finishing — The piece is inspected, dated, sealed in a protective sleeve, and prepared for shipment.
One Recipient, One Piece
A Fu is made for one person. It is not reproduced, and no two pieces are identical — not because of variation in technique, but because each is drawn for a specific recipient, at a specific time.
The reverse of each piece carries the recipient's information and the dedication, hand-written by Master Dajin at the time of making:
Front — the Five Thunder Fu design
Reverse — the dedication, hand-written for one recipient
