Yunjin Brocade Master
(2011)
features Master Zhou
Shuangxi, the "Heir to Yunjin Brocade". Master Zhou explains how
the ancient art form has been preserved and passed down from
generation to generation. Yunjin Brocade was once only fit for a
Chinese emperor, weaved with fine silks and threads made from
peacock feathers and real gold. Today, Yunjin Brocade is on
UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List and continues to be
preserved, cherished, and modernized by the Nanjing Brocade
Research Institute in Nanjing, China. The attention to detail
and time consuming processes to make a Yunjin Brocade garment is
a collaborative effort. The reproduction of ancient designs
and the creation of new ones are all done by hand, from the making of the silk, gold and
peacock threads to the knotting and weaving process. The weaver's hands are the last to touch the creation.
One slip up will ruin a garment worth thousands of dollars. How
does Master Zhou and other Yunjin Brocade weavers do it?
