Tsai I-Pei
TAIWAN, Tainan; Qing dynasty
Tsai I-Pei, also known as Cai Yipei, was a sculptor of Buddhist statues. His grandfather immigrated to Taiwan from Quanzhou, Fujian. After three generations of sculpting religious statues, Tsai established a shop in Tainan called Fohsikuo (Buddha Western Land), and was succeeded there by his son, Tsai Chin-Mao, and several generations continued. His second son, Tsai Hsin, established his own shop called Hsifokuo (Western Buddha Land), which was eventually taken over by Tsai Nan-Shan, Tsai Tien-Min, and Tsai Yu-Cheng. The shops have kept the same names for generations. Their distinct style of Buddhist art is known as the Quanzhou school of sculpture.
