The history of rush grass weaving in Taiwan
The history of rush grass weaving in Taiwan
The art of rush grass weaving, first recorded in Taiwan 300 years ago, reached its peak in the 1930s.
Weaving process
Weaving process
Rush grass typically grows to a height of about 150 cm (59 inches), yet only 40% of it is suitable for weaving. With bare hands, simple tools and decades of experience, artisans carefully navigate over 12 meticulous steps to weave this charming material.
Soothing scent and sensation
Soothing scent and sensation
Rush Grass exudes a soothing natural aroma, reminiscent of Japanese tatami mats. If the scent ever fades, simply expose it to the sun, and like magic, it will reappear.
During the weaving process, artisans skillfully split the rush grass to approximately the width of a grain of rice and meticulously hand weave it, creating a comfortable texture with delightful tiny peaks and valleys.
