Araki Center for the Arts Introduction

Tongxiaos' Huangmu Art Garden was founded in 1966, originally known as the Eastern Wood Carving Arts Creation Society. It was renamed Huangmu Art Garden in 1969 and is an old-established wood carving factory in Tongxiao. It witnessed the flourishing wood carving industry in Tongxiao during the 1960s and is one of the few wood carving factories still in operation today. In 1994, Huangmu Art Garden established an art center to showcase traditional Chinese large woodwork and carving techniques, displaying wooden Buddha statues, root carvings, openwork, and daily woodcraft items, along with opportunities to tour the wood carving workshop and participate in DIY carving activities, making it a well-known cultural and artistic destination in the area. In the wood carving exhibition area, there are solemnly crafted deities and many daily craft works, featuring exquisite carving skills that open one's eyes; the production area retains complete production facilities, basic woodworking equipment, wood carving molds, and carving tools, providing a glimpse into the wood carving process; for those wanting hands-on experience, there is also a DIY area where visitors can carve items such as pencil holders, bookshelves, and Five Paths of Wealth God masks. It can be said that Huangmu Art Center has elevated the traditional wood carving factory into a Buddhist art center and a hall of cultural inheritance.
