Bich said he has taken photos mostly of artisans making toys and food for the Mid-Autumn Festival in the north. “Some handicrafts like making toys from glass have died out because no one has maintained the career anymore,” he said. In November, he will organise another exhibition featuring embroidery artisan Vu Van Gioi in Thuong Tin district, Hanoi.
