When you think of fish skin, do you think food or fine art? Originating from the fishing traditions of Chagan Lake in northeast China, fish-skin craftsmanship is being reimagined by artisans who transform the material into paintings, ornaments and jewelry. Through careful cutting, stitching and design, this intangible cultural heritage craft highlights the natural texture and beauty of the fish skin. What was once a practical material of daily life is now a fashionable expression of local culture.
