Fushan Rattan Weaving

Fushan Rattan Weaving

　　Fushan rattan weaving is a unique craft in southern Sichuan. On Fushan Rock, there are specialized rattan artisans known as “rattan masters” who gather a local type of vine, also called “guyer vine,” from the mountains. After removing the leaves and outer skin, the vines are dried to a grayish-white color and become highly pliable. Using these dried vines, the artisans skillfully weave them onto frames made of water bamboo to create a variety of beautiful, practical, and eco-friendly household items such as chairs, sofas, and tea tables.
