Cultural Calendar — Lunar New Year
Every Lunar New Year tradition ends at the same place: a table with too much food on it and everyone home.
Lunar New Year is celebrated across China, Vietnam, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the diasporas that carried it everywhere else — and the food changes at every border. Dumplings, bánh chưng, tteokguk, yusheng: the same holiday, entirely different plates.
The archive keeps those distinctions. Choosing the right country collection is what turns a seasonal gift into a personal one.
An illustrated food poster for the home where the reunion dinner happens. An apron for whoever cooks it. A tea towel for the relatives who arrive early. For families raising children away from home, the kids poster is a gentle way to keep the food vocabulary alive.
If you are invited to a reunion dinner, arrive with the tea towel from the correct country — a detail that is noticed immediately. Everything is boxed with tissue paper and ribbon, ready to hand over.
