  The puppet heads are made of camphorwood, which is first sawn into a base as the size of a puppet heads. A line is drawn across the middle of the place as the face, the cheeks are cut sideways and the five sense organs are fixed up. carving them out with a knife. When the primary base has come into being, it is covered with a piece of cotton paper to get dyed and to make the veins hidden. The base is then plastered with the filtered loess pulp and polished with the dolphinfish skin after it is dry. The five organs are carved with a bamboo knife, filling and polishing the gaps, A puppet head is not finished until it is smeared with powder, painted in colours, spread with wax and fixed up hair, beard, moustache or whiskers.
