About the book
"Up in Flames is the first comprehensive study of the traditional Chinese craft of paper sculpture - the construction in bamboo and paper of human figures, figures of gods, buildings, and other objects, all intended to be ritually burned. The book documents this ancient craft as it exists today in Taiwan. The fascinating fundamentals of the craft, the tools and materials, as well as the techniques used to construct houses and human figures, never investigated before, are described and illustrated in detail. The written material is augmented by many color photographs showing the objects, and the men and women who make them."--Jacket.
