Into the book
Our country's traditional crafts fully reflect our people's thoughts, lifestyle, and way of life.
Jeollanam-do crafts have also been passed down while reflecting the humanities characteristics of the people of the southern region, their lifestyles, and the characteristics of materials produced in the region.
In particular, Jeollanam-do is a mountainous region rich in natural environment and craft materials, and has been a region where various crafts have developed since ancient times.
--- p.4
The 'Sanggam method', which involves engraving or stamping a pattern before completely drying the porcelain, filling the mark with white clay or red clay, firing it first, and then applying celadon glaze and firing it, is a unique Korean method.
Additionally, the subtle blue color of the celadon boasts a unique color that is difficult to imitate anywhere in the world.
Gangjin was a world-class producer of Goryeo celadon, with 70% of the celadon designated as national treasures and treasures being produced in Gangjin.
--- p.54
Even now, there are people who are trying to carry on the tradition of Haenam jade crafts and maintain its reputation.
Along with producing expensive pieces, they are also making crafts that are easily accessible to the general public, such as seals, nameplates, and seals, that suit the tastes of customers, and are making every effort to preserve the jade craft.
Haenam County also recognized these efforts and designated and preserved three jade craftsmen as local cultural heritage of Haenam County in 2015.
--- p.115
A survey of elderly people living in Jeollanam-do on indigo dyeing revealed that indigo dyeing was practiced throughout Jeollanam-do until the 1940s.
In 2016, many seniors over 90 years old had experience with dyeing their hair.
In the case of Jidong Village, Yongjeon-ri, Bonghwang-myeon, Naju-si, it was found that in the 1940s, more than 80% of households grew indigo and dyed it with indigo water.
--- p.173
Damyang is a representative region in Korea where bamboo crafts have developed.
The background to the development of Damyang's bamboo crafts is the climatic conditions and abundance of materials suitable for creating bamboo forests.
This region has gained a reputation as a unique bamboo craft production area through a combination of factors, including the transmission and dissemination of techniques for making the materials, scaling up and division of labor in response to diverse and growing demand, comparative advantages in productivity in terms of geography and means of livelihood, and policy support.

Publisher's Review
* Traditional crafts as living tools!
* Guidebook for Restoring and Developing Traditional Crafts!
There are many books related to crafts.
However, most of the books are about hobbies and practical activities, such as knitting and embroidery, that provide friendly guidance so that we can easily follow along in our daily lives.
It is rare to find a book that comprehensively examines traditional crafts.
It may be because traditional crafts have become difficult to come across in everyday life these days, but in fact, traditional crafts were originally practical everyday tools and were commonly found around us in the past.
Depending on the material, there were various types such as metalwork, stonework, etc.
These traditional crafts are particularly significant as clues to understanding the lives of our ancestors, as they fully reflect the thoughts, lifestyles, and ways of life of our people.
Moreover, by utilizing traditional crafts, we can develop crafts and technologies that effectively respond to the new era and globalization.
To ensure the continued preservation of this precious heritage, traditional crafts, the author completed this book by researching records of modern and post-modern crafts in Jeollanam-do and interviewing senior citizens directly.
* Introducing various modern crafts from Jeonnam!
* The mystery of crafts with stories!
Even though the research area was limited to Jeollanam-do Province and not the entire country, the author covered a wide variety of crafts in this book, enough to fill a whole book.
This is a famous book that can greatly contribute to understanding and restoring Jeollanam-do's modern traditional crafts.
