| DESIGN NAME: Geta Inheritance PRIMARY FUNCTION: Handbag INSPIRATION: The inspiration for the collection comes from Japanese geta. Geta culture lasts for centuries even with the country’s development. Japanese leaves the geta culture as their believing of life. The collection is representing the keeping in the indigenous culture and a country’s believing. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In the early years, the original geta was invented in China Tang Dynasty and then passed on to Japan in which has handed down so far. Even if in contemporary Japan, people still love to wearing geta in their daily life. The collection represents a country's belief in cultural heritage. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The handbag design is related to traditional Japanese culture with a modern and simple design. It reflects the soul of Japanese belief in cultural heritage.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Wood Treatment, Veg-tan Leather Treatment, Leather Coating and Dyeing, Pigskin Lining, Fabric Pattern, Design and Digital Print, Industrial Design SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 11*8*5 inches TAGS: laser cut, bending treatment, handbag, wood treatment, fashion, accessories, culture, heritage, digital print fabric, Japan RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research originated from the exploration and research on the cultural heritage of China and Japan. Clogs is one of the important inventions in ancient China. However, in contemporary China, few people wear clogs. On the contrary, after being transported to Japan in the Tang Dynasty, clogs were passed on even till the modern centuries and renamed as Geta in Japan. Therefore, I have studied the development background and inheritance history of Geta culture under the different cultures of China and Japan, and deeply explored the main reasons for the disappearance of Geta in China and the inheritance of Japan. In fact, I the disappearance and inheritance reason is connected with the orientation of the country and the mainstream appeal. In recent years, China's fashion design style gradually approaches to the countries as Europe and the United States. While, the development of Japan for fashion is designed by the inherent cultural elements along with fashion at the same time. Although these are just studies on the culture of clogs, they could also represent the pursuit and intention of development, politics, economy, culture, and fashion of a country. Fashion, it is not just clothes, accessories, shoes, bags and other simple items, it also represents a deeper level of different cultures, backgrounds and means a lot. CHALLENGE: The challenge point of this design is to make the piece of wood bending in the middle as the connection between front and back piece. For the front and back piece, I used laser cut technology to create the hollow effect. Moreover, it is also important to make the wood hollow to make it lighter for carrying. The other part is about the fabric usage. I designed the pattern and digitally printed it on the fabric. ADDED DATE: 2018-03-05 01:57:58 TEAM MEMBERS (1) : IMAGE CREDITS: Jingwen Zhang, 2017. |
