Tò He Jade Rabbit is a traditional Tò He figurine that holds special significance in Vietnamese culture. Inspired by the legendary Jade Rabbit, a symbol of purity, wisdom, and longevity, the Tò He Jade Rabbit is not just a folk toy but also carries deep spiritual meaning.
Artisans from Xuân La meticulously sculpt every detail of the Jade Rabbit, from its long ears and soft, rounded body to its gentle expression. In the past, Tò He was made from glutinous rice dough and naturally dyed with vegetable colors. Today, Japanese clay is used to ensure durability and preserve its beauty for longer.
The Tò He Jade Rabbit is often seen during festivals, especially the Mid-Autumn Festival, where the image of the rabbit is closely associated with the moon and folktales of kindness and selflessness. More than just a toy, it is a piece of cultural heritage that reflects the delicate artistry of Xuân La – the only village in Vietnam dedicated to the Tò He craft.
