Huang Shou-kun, a lacquer artist from Taiwan, has become a recognized inheritor of the intangible Chinese cultural heritage in Fujian province.
Working from his studio in Luoyuan, Huang, 45, immerses himself in rural life. He is a master of lacquer techniques, creating art pieces and offering hands-on workshops.
Lacquerware, an ancient craft, involves using the natural sap of lacquer trees to coat and embellish objects.
Huang began his career in lacquer restoration at a museum in Taiwan. "To master lacquerware, I trained at the museum and later stayed on as a teacher," he said.
