KUNMING — In an unassuming museum in Kunming, capital of Southwest China's Yunnan province, Zhang Hang shapes a piece of clay into the figure of a cat known as wamao, or tile cat, a traditional figurine once placed on rooftops and believed to guard homes.
Zhang, 32, is an inheritor of the Kunming wamao making technique and the founder of the Heart Chamber Wamao Museum.
