Russia | Slavic traditional craftsmanship of northern families

▋About Slavic Puppet Slavic puppets have a history of thousands of years. This craft has played a very important role in the life of the Slavic peoples. Slavic puppets have different uses according to different methods. They can be used as toys for children, or they can be kept at home. The functions of praying and keeping peace are also often used in different ceremonies and celebrations. There are few traces of Slavic puppets in Russian cities. They can only be found in certain places where traditional culture continues to be protected. They are very precious. ▋About the guardian of the northern family The style of the guardian of the northern family is different from other Slavic puppets. It is very special. It can also be called a family puppet in central Russia. The Slavs will place the puppet in the north corner of the house because they believe that the evil spirit is in the north. People in northern Russia call it Akan. Akan can not only avoid the invasion of evil spirits, but also symbolize the beginning of the world. Akan will wear leather or animal hair, made of 7 pieces of fabric. Legends say that these fabrics symbolize different bodies. , Different worlds, soul travels, the more fancy the fabric, the more powerful the puppet will have. When making this puppet, you will not use any scissors or needles, but will only use thread binding. The head of the guardian of the northern family has a face-like shape. The face is made of two different colors. These two colors symbolize life and death. When you roll him together, it represents infinite life in the universe. The guardian of the northern family will bring happiness to the family, help you kick your worries out of your life, and avoid letting other people's bad emotions affect you. ▋Product content (After receiving the order, the production will take about 7~14 days) Size: about 10x6x5cm (the gap can be customized within 10 cm) Design and color: You can leave a message to inform you that you want to match the color (or directly inform the style as a certain one on the way) Can be customized, or left to the craftsman to freely play ▋Creator https://www.yk-club.com/uploads/5/9/5/3/59538293/1663194567_orig.jpg Anna Originally from Siberia, Russia, he followed his family's experience in making all kinds of fabric crafts and cultivated a good craftsmanship. After I came into contact with Slavic puppets in the later period, I studied this beautiful craft more deeply, adhered to its traditional production methods, and hoped to share this charming traditional technique with more people. So far, many Slavic doll-related craft activities have been opened in YK CLUB, and they have been invited to teach at the Forbidden City, Pinglin Tea Museum, Foreign Trade Association, Jingguan Plaza and other units.
