Our Story
Divine Lineage, Painted in Gold
Nestled in the golden valley of Tongren, Qinghai, the Upper Wutun Monastery stands as the spiritual heart of Regong—the "Cradle of the Arts." As a cornerstone of UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, Regong art represents a thousand-year-old lineage of devotion.
Our pieces are brought to life by hereditary monk artists, using 24K pure gold and rare natural mineral pigments. The creation is a 24-day spiritual journey: 21 days of meditative painting followed by 3 days of sacred consecration.
