In Taiwan, when we mention craftsmanship, it is often associated with exquisite artistry. However, the origins of craftsmanship lie in the necessities of everyday life and survival. For example, utensils made from bamboo leaves for hunting, fish traps crafted from bamboo for fishing, or clothing made from banana fiber and tree bark for warmth.

With advancements in technology, the invention of superior materials and efficient machinery has elevated the intricate craftsmanship to a cultural transmission and a symbol of high artistry.

Nevertheless, craftsmanship always originates from life and is nurtured within unique local conditions. Therefore, every individual living within it is connected to craftsmanship by an invisible yet profound thread.

The exhibition revolves around three main themes: "Craftsmanship and Environment," "Craftsmanship and Body," and "Craftsmanship and Life." It is designed as an aesthetic concept store, inviting visitors to experience each carefully displayed item.

Step into The Craft SHOP, and through the lens of craftsmanship and embodied experiences, discover the hidden thread that links craftsmanship, environment, and daily life. From there, extend your aspirations for an ideal life rooted in craftsmanship, as well as foster understanding, identification, and participation in a more integrated creative community within the industry.
With the Craft SHOP, we hope to bring craftsmanship into the lives of more Taiwanese people, generating greater interest in craftsmanship and nurturing a contemporary Taiwanese craft culture and collective spirit.
