Grandfather Guo Xiquan founded the hat and seat business in 1947 with products made from Taiwanese rush. Now, the third generation has joined, and in addition to inheriting the tradition, they also use their grandfather's name as the store name to continue his love of weaving. In Xiquan's family, there is the third generation who loves knitting and her mother. What is indispensable is that there is also a group of grandmas and aunts who love knitting to accompany Xiquan, to inherit traditional culture and develop innovative designs together. Three generations of Xiquan have been weaving the long-standing culture of their hometown, continuing the authentic craftsmanship and making it a part of daily life. The simple feel of the hand is the texture bestowed by nature, and it is also the emotion of home. wwwwwwww https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52095081931_63202c460f_b.jpg **|| Taiwan Rush (Schoenoplectus triqueter (L.) Palla) ||** | Nickname Mat grass, Ilex serrata | Birthplace Central Taiwan - Lower reaches of the Da'an River, Dajia in Taichung and Yuanli in Miaoli Personality Breathable cooling - Moisture wicking There is also a unique natural grass fragrance~ Taiwan Rush, a plant unique to central Taiwan, has a charming natural grass fragrance. Rush was mostly used for weaving straw mats in the early days, so it is also called "mat straw". It is very moisture-absorbent, breathable, smooth and skin-friendly. It feels cool when you touch it, and it becomes more and more shiny as it is used over time. It is a natural fiber with a sense of life. The rush weaving culture has been around in Taiwan for nearly three hundred years. Each item is hand-woven by local grandmas and aunties, full of Taiwanese spirit. **|| Rush weaving process||** Growth | After 3-4 months of growth Sun exposure | After harvesting, expose the fruits to the sun for about 2-4 months to completely dry out the moisture Grass cutting | Sorting grass by length and removing some of the grass tail Picking grass | Before weaving, we first select grass with even thickness. Weeding Pants | Remove the undeveloped leaves from the grass head Hammering the grass | Destroying the grass structure to make it soft and easier to weave If you want to weave more delicate items, there are two more steps - "splitting the grass" (dividing the original triangular rush into two or three equal parts) and "kneading the grass" (kneading the grass to remove the white fibers inside) **|| A short story about Taiwan Rush||** I heard from my grandma and mom that people in the past would grow grass They like black gold rush very much Usually the color of rush changes with the time of use. But some people want to speed up the process of turning into black gold I will use tea water to wipe it. Darken the grass **For more information, please contact us**
