Year of the Horse Couplets - Luxury Edition / Gold-Sprinkled Wannian Red Couplets "Leisurely Dwelling, Without Worries." Inscription: Deng Shiru Seals: Shiru, Deng Shi Wanbai Calligraphy by: Deng Shiru (1743-1805), Qing Dynasty Quantity: Set of 2 Dimensions: 22 x 36 cm per piece Paper: 60g Handmade Gold-Sprinkled Wannian Red Paper (Taiwan) + 240g Eco-Friendly Red Cardstock (Taiwan) Printing: Letterpress Hot Foil Stamping Available in Matte Gold and Bright Black foil (Taiwanese gold leaf) Features: The texture of the handmade Wannian Red paper is warm and organic. The subtle flow of pulp creates endlessly varied patterns. This paper, a bright and delicate shade of vermilion red, invigorates the spirit upon sight. Hand-poured by artisans at a traditional paper mill in Puli, Taiwan, and screen-printed one by one, the gold-sprinkled effect is truly spectacular. Beautiful auspicious couplets selected for a wonderful day, hot-stamped by Taiwanese artisans (even the gold leaf is made in Taiwan). These couplets, when affixed to your door, are a work of calligraphy art that delights the eyes with every entry and exit. They represent exquisite Taiwanese craftsmanship worthy of collection, and make for a thoughtful gift. What is Wannian Red: Wannian Red paper is treated with a special process on its surface to resist fading, hence its name. Wannian Red paper can be either handmade or machine-made. While its resistance to fading is widely appreciated, the main drawback of Wannian Red is its thinness, making it prone to tearing. Improvements in the "Luxury Edition Couplets": Mei Hao Yi Ri Studio has laminated the thin-gauge Wannian Red paper with 240g eco-friendly red cardstock, reinforcing the resilience of the couplet paper! This is the first time you'll see such a sturdy Wannian Red Xuan paper! Adhesion: 1. We recommend using double-sided cloth tape, which leaves no residue and ensures a smooth surface when applied. 2. Experienced users can opt for rice paste; the wall can be washed clean when replacing the couplets the following year. 3. Absolutely avoid using double-sided tape or foam tape, as removing the adhesive residue from walls the following year can be extremely difficult and regrettable. 4. Height: The top of the first calligraphy character should be positioned slightly above eye level. 5. If affixing to a single door, do not place the two couplets too far apart (1-2 cm is ideal). 6. Many have asked about affixing to ornate iron gates or barred gates; we can only suggest purchasing magnetic wooden scroll hangers (similar to hanging paintings, with wooden strips at the top and bottom).
