The Last Artisans​​​​​​​ 

Despite their flourishing past, historical value, and the effort gave into preservation, cultures come and go. The Last Artisans documented four Hong Kong artisans of local traditional handicrafts — from hand-carved mahjong tile, Canton porcelain, to hand-made food steamer and flower plaque. As these traditional handicrafts have gradually become sunset industries, the artisans were unable to find successors from the younger generation, making them the last of the artisans alive.
