Age-Old Printing House For Buddhist Scripture. Ga Ga, Director of the Dege Woodblock Printing House is examining the engraving on Buddhist scripture in Sanskrit and Tibetan. Taking good care of the wood boards is a tradition of the house. After the completion of a book, oil is applied to the cleaned boards for preservation. Many blocks carved in the early period of the printing house are still in good shape. Photo by Wang Jingye
