Description
Introduction Asian textiles are extremely powerful and exciting art forms. The spiritual and ritual importance that they have held in ceremonies of state and religion is enhanced by their splendour and the mystery that surrounds them (Maxwell 2003, p. 9). Textiles have played such a vital role for so many centuries that they can be studied as basic material products of their societies (Prangwattanakum 1993, pp. 24-26). Nevertheless, it is not commonly known that different textiles express different needs, uses, and meanings that stem from the process of producing and the background of producing.
