Though his childhood consisted of helping his father in their joss paper retail business, it was only after he completed his National Service that Ho Kwang Han began to dabble in the art of joss paper house building. Driven by his own interest in the craft, the self-taught craftsman has gone on to teach his own disciples, and continues to build these elaborate masterpieces to this day.
