Product description

Iron-branding art is a traditional cultural practice of the Chinese nation and is also listed as a Chinese intangible cultural heritage protection project. It originated in the late Western Han Dynasty and flourished during the Eastern Han Dynasty. It has a history of over two thousand years. Also known as ‘hot-branding art’ or ‘fire-pen art’, it involves using a hot iron to burn marks onto an object to create a picture. In creating iron-branding art, whilst controlling temperature, speed, pressure and angle, the artist emphasises the principle that ‘the intention precedes the brushstroke, and the form is created upon application’ . </font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Song">Pyrography is divided into traditional and modern styles.
