With the kind help of Joseph Vincent, a former student of mine who had moved to Taiwan, I commissioned my own set of hell scrolls in 2013. The broker ran a shop on Xiyuan Road near Taipei’s famous Longshan Temple, and he told us it takes about fifteen days to paint a set. We also found the book that provided the line drawings from which this set of paintings was made, namely Sanjiao shengxiang huaji 三教聖像畫集, published in 1973.
