You may have been intrigued (as I was) as to the identity of the private collector whose textile yu shan analysed resulting in the Saisiyat sample. I emailed her overnight to give her the link to the post above. This morning, without me asking, yu shan came back saying that she had forwarded my message:
Quote:
"...to the person (a Taiwanese collector Mr. Young) who provided some of collections to us (Research team of Kobe Design University, Japan) for taking photos, so I analyzed this pieces by looking photos. Mr. Young is the host of a Taiwan aboriginal folk arts house - Chang wha county, near Nantou - he told us, he bought those varied collections from an old Japanese collector."
