A catalogue of fu designs, shown for cultural reference. These twenty-two designs are reproduced from a traditional woodblock-printed fu catalogue, with the studio’s notes on what each depicts and where the catalogue files it. This page is a design guide, not an ordering page. The two pieces we make are linked below on their own product pages.
The Chinese names are the catalogue’s own labels for each design, kept as they appear in the printed book. The English notes describe the craft, the tradition and the handling of a fu. We make no claim of any particular effect.
The two formats below are described on their own product pages, where current availability and price are shown. Every piece is drawn by hand for one named recipient. The images on this page are printed catalogue entries — a piece you receive is drawn by hand, so its linework will differ from the print in the way a handwritten character differs from a printed one. We do not draw fu for health, medical, fertility, pregnancy or childbirth purposes, and we make no claim that any piece will produce a particular outcome. A piece of Taoist folk art and cultural heritage. No specific result is guaranteed.
