見證嘉義木都風華文化的「欄間雕刻」又稱花板雕刻，曾是日治時期至民國時期重要的出口產品之一。雖為手工雕刻藝術，但曾有完整的產業流程。然而隨著時代推進，居住環境與建築裝潢風格的轉變，欄間雕刻(鑿花)的文化漸漸勢微。本案認為該精緻的雕刻工藝應受重視與傳承，並透過現代設計與結合傳統香道的形、色、質，達到多感官體驗，同時將形而上的文化內涵融入現代生活。

The proposal aims to utilize Chiayi's distinctive "carving between the fences," which holds historical significance as a relic from the Japanese occupation period that symbolizes the deep bond between Chiayi and "wood capital", to revitalize the local community. Through innovative redesign, this proposal seeks to reintegrate the "carving between the fences" into people's lives, recognizing it as a crucial means for the revival of ""wood capital"."
To return the "Sculpture Between Columns" to the modern market, this proposal emphasizes the importance of subject selection and visual corrections. The proposal suggests classifying the units on the carvings between the bars, unifying their visual effect, and integrating elements of Taiwan and Chiayi into carving styles to reduce the Japanese influence and deepen the bond between the "carvings between the bars" and local culture. The proposal recommends disassembling and arranging the elements into modules, which can be combined with a geometric frame for mass production. This approach reduces the visual weight of the carvings and enhances their visual impact.
Moreover, this proposal incorporates the "incense way," which promotes physical and mental well-being, to enrich the visual effect of the carvings. The proposal suggests that the incense process can serve as a visual enjoyment and interactive experience, providing a moment of purification in a busy generation. By prioritizing appearance and shape and reintegrating historical and cultural connotations into modern life, this proposal aims to meet the needs of contemporary society and imprint the image of Chiayi's "wood capital" in people's hearts.
