《Taiwan Folk Art Tour》
Joss paper, sometimes called “ghost money” or “spirit money,” is paper burned during religious rites to honor ancestors and venerate deities. Nowadays, it represents an artwork of Taiwan traditional culture.
The joss paper validates our expectations toward the spiritual world that also brings inner peace to one's body, mind and spirit.
We will embark on a holistic experience that also includes joss paper making.
Throughout the entire process, you will understand it's origins, purpose and how it affects our lifestyle.

Our friend -- Chang Yang has immersed himself in the mysterious joss paper industry for more than thirty years, and is the sole expert in Taiwan. Chang Yang is an artist by heart and has been designing joss paper stamps (it's technically a totem) for decades as well. By imprinting these totems on joss paper, it signifies the birth of a joss paper and there are many totem designs; all carrying different meanings!
