All About Art of Cai

The Seventh Lion is an independently run business based in Sydney, Australia. 

 

 

Hello! I'm Cai, the moving force behind The Seventh Lion. Way back in 2015, I joined my local lion dance team, the Chinese Youth League, and my whole life changed. I finally understood what it meant to be a part of a community - and one that spans several countries all across the world. It's like one big family united by lion dance. Over the years, this community has given me purpose and kinship, and building The Seventh Lion was my way of giving back to this amazing community.

We don't just make products here, we make symbols of representation that are authentic and created from the very heart of a lion dancer. We understand and actively practise the rich culture behind lion dancing, and these values are infused in our approach to designing and creating our products.

My work speaks to my love for lion dance and I aim to make artwork that reflects a lion dancer's pride for their culture and dedication to the craft.
