This is not a souvenir. It is a river junk — a handcrafted wooden fishing boat model made to order in the Ocean Relic Studio workshop in Zhoushan, Zhejiang.

The fishing boat was the most democratic vessel in Chinese maritime history — while the great ocean-going junks carried silk and porcelain across the Indian Ocean, the river fishing junk — 江南渔船 — fed the people. Flat-bottomed for shallow water, multi-tiered cabin for shelter across long fishing seasons, bamboo poles for net-setting and river-pushing. The hand-knotted net suspended from the bow poles was not a decoration; it was the reason the boat existed. Our craftsmen grew up on an island where this tradition was still alive — they did not reconstruct this vessel from historical records, they built it from memory and practice, in our Zhoushan workshop, founded in 1980: every plank shaped by hand, the net hand-knotted, the cabin assembled joint by joint.
