Abstract

Wood-anatomical studies on vines, one of the main materials for fork craftworks used in the past, were insufficient compared to those for trees. Therefore, it is important to identify the species of vines in order to preserve the vinery craftwork relics. In this study, the species of 31 samples (30 traditional baskets and one sculpture relic) obtained from Korea were identified. Twenty-two baskets among 30 baskets were identified as Cocculus trilobus DC, a perennial vine which has flexible xylem and thick fibers in phloem. The other baskets were identified as $Lespedeza$ spp., a shrub with tough xylem. The sculpture part was $Actinidia$ $arguta$ Planch., a perennial vine with chambered piths.
