  Butter Sculptures  
 

 Contents of butter sculptures

Ways of expressing butter sculptures vary greatly, covering a wide range of contents. Mostly, they center on Buddhism, historic stories, personal biographies, birds, and beasts. Over time, they have been imbued with the various trends of each era.

For example, the butter sculpture "The Story About Sakyamuni" not only enriched the traditional style of butter sculpting, but also reflects real life. In this way, the former single method has evolved into a multi-method system, including a combination of stereoscopic sculptures and reliefs -- a combination of single sculptures and multi-sculptures.
