A Master Sculptor Has Been Devoting His Life to Maintain the Wood Sculpting Buddha-Making Tradition

For this month, many people who loved my previous videos have asked me to show them the skills of the great master artisans (very few people alive) and even older but they are still trying day-by-day to pass on traditional values to the next generations. To thank and honor them, we decided to create a series of video shows about them and their work from the footage available from my friends and myself.

During a recent visit to Asaba Buddhist Art Studio in Osaka's Asahi ward, I met the husband-wife team of Mukoyoshi Yuboku and Nakamura Keiboku, two of Japan's most lauded contemporary artists of Buddhist statues, paintings, and crafts. While it may seem stubborn, the Japanese sculptor Mukoyoshi Yuboku creates his pieces only in wood to maintain the sculpting tradition. While Nakamura specializes in iconic Buddhist paintings and crafts using cut gold leaf. They are extremely amiable people and their love of religious art is palpable. The carving process of the Fudou Myouou half-size statue takes about one year that will show you all. I have devoted all my efforts to this video and I hope you enjoy it!

To make this video getting better, I've written the script very carefully and hired a professional Female Voice Over to reading it, at the same I have added some shots of mine, new effects work, new music added and a new creation is created as “Carving Buddha | Mukoyoshi Yuboku’s world”
