Jacquard Weaving
The Jacquard machine () is a device fitted to a loom that simplifies the process of manufacturing textiles with such complex patterns as brocade, damask and matelassé. The resulting ensemble of the loom and Jacquard machine is then called a Jacquard loom. The machine was patented by Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1804, based on earlier inventions by the Frenchmen Basile Bouchon (1725), Jean Baptiste Falcon (1728), and Jacques Vaucanson (1740). The machine was controlled by a "chain of cards"; a number of punched cards laced together into a continuous sequence. Multiple rows of holes were punched on each card, with one complete card corresponding to one row of the design. Both the Jacquard process and the necessary loom attachment are named after their inventor. This mechanism is probably one of the most important weaving innovations as Jacquard shedding made possible the automatic production of unlimited varieties of complex pattern weaving. The term "Jacquard" is not specific ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bojagi
A bojagi (, sometimes shortened to ) is a traditional Korean wrapping cloth. Bojagi are typically square and can be made from a variety of materials, though silk or ramie are common. Embroidered bojagi are known as subo, while patchwork or scrap bojagi are known as chogak bo. Bojagi have many uses, including as gift wrapping, in weddings, and in Buddhist rites. More recently, they have been recognized as a traditional art form, often featured in museums and inspiring modern reinterpretations. History Traditional Korean folk religions believed that keeping something wrapped protected good luck. It is believed that the earliest use of the wrappings dates to the Three Kingdoms Period, but no examples survive from this period. The earliest surviving examples, from the early Joseon Dynasty (1392–1910), were used in a Buddhist context, as tablecloths or coverings for sutras. The cloths particularly marked special events, such as weddings or betrothals, where the use of a new cloth wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Korean Knots
Korean knots, also known as maedeup (매듭), is a traditional Korean handicraft which dates back to the Three Kingdom periods that is closely related with Chinese knots. While Korean knotting techniques are believed to have been influenced by Chinese knots, Korean knots have evolved into its own rich culture as to design, colour and incorporation of local characteristics. Korean knotting uses a unique braiding technique. Korean knotting is derived from the ancient practice of using knots for practical purposes; e.g. in fishing nets, agricultural tools, stone knives and axes. Traditionally, the knots were used primarily to hold hunting tools around the waist and their usage was initially limited to royal families, spreading later to common people. Today, modern Korean artists are using the traditional knots in their works, such as accessories, jewelry and home interior decorations. Design Korean knots are tighter than both then Chinese knots and Japanese knots; maedeup is al ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
