A Family Tradition

Founded in Hangzhou in 1923 by Master Wei Zhenyu, our studio has passed the torch of jade carving through five generations. What began as a small workshop near West Lake has grown into a internationally recognized center for Chinese jade artistry.

Our philosophy is rooted in the ancient Daoist principle of Wu Wei—effortless action. We do not force the jade to take shape; we reveal the form that already exists within the stone, waiting to be uncovered.

"Jade speaks to those who listen. Our hands merely translate its whispers into form."
— Master Wei Zhenyu, 1923
