As the sun rises over the Pacific Ocean, magnificent clouds are reflected on the sea. On the hills near the South-Link Line of the Taiwan Railways Administration, an eye-catching white schoolhouse faces the waters. Once a beautiful elementary school, it has now been transformed into a wood workshop by the local indigenous community.
The history of cochin ware pottery in Taiwan can be traced back to the 19th century, when Ye Wang of Tainan became Taiwan's first master of the art. For his help in replicating and teaching the techniques used by Ye, Lin Kuang-i was named by the government as a national preserver of cochin ware crafts in 2010.
