Zhao Yishen is bent over, his eyes staring at the woodblock. Holding a chisel in his right hand, he guides it forward steadily and precisely across the woodblock using his left hand.
To engrave the woodblocks, the 33-year-old artisan has to hold this position for six hours.
He has been carving woodblocks since 2012.
