Danting Li
Inspired by Ming Dynasty sugar painting, a Chinese national intangible cultural heritage, this gift set is created for the 2026 Year of the Horse and blends traditional sugar art with ancient Chinese character culture through a contemporary visual language. Identical hoof shaped boxes stack into palace tile like forms, while blind box packaging reveals one of eleven sugar paintings of the character “horse” in scripts including cursive, running, clerical, regular, seal, Wei stele, bamboo slip, oracle bone, bronze, Nüshu, and nine fold seal, offering a festive and interactive cultural experience
