Apprenticeship to Learn the Craft

Due to his long-term exposure and strong interest in statue sprucing, under the recommendation of his family elders, by chance, he became an apprentice of statue sprucing. Master A-fa’s master is Chi-tze Chiang, a famous craftsman of the Quanzhou Sect. Chi-tze Chiang is from Yuanlin Dongshan, and his master, Mr. Bing-yu Hsu, was one of the sculptors and builders of the Baguashan Giant Buddha in Changhua! Master Chi-tze Chiang is 82 years old this year, and he still continues engaging in the work of statue sprucing, which is really his lifelong ambition!
