About Craftmanship
Shu Brocade, originating from Sichuan, China, is one of China’s four most famous brocades and a national intangible cultural heritage with a history of over 2,000 years. Renowned for its intricate jacquard weaving technique, refined silk texture and elaborate auspicious patterns, it was once reserved as tribute for imperial courts and noble families, earning its reputation as a treasure of Chinese textile art.
The persimmon calyx motif is a classic traditional pattern passed down for millennia, named for its resemblance to the calyx of a persimmon. It carries wishes for all things going smoothly, lasting peace and growing prosperity. At Orientalcultural, we partner with master inheritors of Shu Brocade craft to revive this ancient textile art, shaping the timeless heritage into modern everyday accessories that carry profound oriental cultural charm and quiet luxury.
