The art of making truc chi was invented by painter Phan Hai Bang in 2011. Based on the traditional process of making the paper, Bang created a new type of art, do hoa truc chi (trucchigraphy), in which artists create paintings on truc chi paper.
The paper has become a material for many other artistic and daily-use products, like lanterns, wallets, candle boxes, handbags, wall paintings and table calendars.
