Facing economic shifts, some Hong Kong businesses are choosing preservation over innovation, maintaining traditional crafts. A new HKFP series spotlights these “Made in Hong Kong” goods and the artisans behind them. Central to this is the art of deity wood carving, a practice linked to the city’s 600+ Chinese temples. These temples rely on skilled carvers to create and maintain the figures that guard them. The series aims to document the dedication and craftsmanship of these families, showcasing a disappearing art form. It highlights the choice to keep traditions alive despite pressures from mainland manufacturing. This focus on heritage provides a glimpse into a unique aspect of Hong Kong’s cultural identity.
