The exhibition will showcase traditional garments made from fabrics woven by professors and students of the Department of Traditional Fine Arts and Crafts, featuring textiles made from moshi and chunpo. It will display the elegance and various applications of moshi and chunpo, which have long been cherished as summer fabrics. Moshi is a fabric woven from the infibers of the ramie plant, which belongs to the nettle family, while chunpo is a woven fabric combining silk and moshi threads.
