Photo Monday

When I was a little boy, I remember crowding around a master craftsman making dough figurines for sale. The figurines were of anything - from animals to the Goddess of Mercy. Alas, in Malaysia, these masters are no more. However, I believe they can still be found in China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea.
Below are the stolen shots of such a master I took in Japan.

 Great shots Lee, it makes me feel good to watch a craftsman practising his craft. Thanks for posting.

Hi Poet,

I think the modern figurines are of plastic or spare and not of rice dough. The figurines I saw were more colourful than the ones shown here which are of one colour. You gave a great weekend too.

 Hand made, one of a kind, these are the things I like. Good photos Lee.

 It's interesting to know other cultures. Thanks, Lee.
