When a designer cooperates with a traditional craftsman, it may be that the craftsman’s original technique was used for the previous life style. Now that young people don’t use it, the craftsman’s technique will gradually become protected. We call it intangible cultural heritage, but it has no way to appear in life, so we hope that through the designer’s ingenuity, this thing can be turned into a product that young people can use, or a gift that young people can give. Then these traditional techniques can reappear in the market and life.
