  • Launched in 2017, Loewe Craft Prize is now establishing itself as the most prestigious craft contest in the world. In this study, we noted the background behind the Loewe Craft Prize, which started with a luxury brand, developing into the best contest covering all crafts in a short period of four years. In crafts with various contests around the world, Loewe Craft Prize's interest in craft, which has no limitations on genre diversity and materials, is a result of no contest. This is possible by forming and developing a complex contest, which is differentiated from the existing single-material contest and the distinct values of the crafts possessed by Loewe Craft Prize. In this study, the background of this result was the convergence of materials, the fusion of tradition and modernity, and the convergence of science and crafts, and the tendency of writers and the flow of modern crafts through their works. We also want to find out how the meaning of the expansion of the craft genre affects modern crafts.

  • The resistance property of a high speed passenger craft (: "DOL-PIN HO" designed by the author in 1972) is investigated as follows; -. The Resistance property of the craft is determined by savitsky′s method and blount-Fox′s method. The theoretical results are also compared with the full scale data. The comparison reveals that the result when using blount/fox′s method are in much closer agreement with the full scale data than savitsky′s. -. The effects of ship speed on the positions of the center of pressure and of the longitudinal center of gravity (L.C.G.) are investigated. The investigation shows that the position of L.C.G. of the craft is almost constant although the ship speed is changed. -. The effect of transom flap on the Resistance property of the craft is studied using savitsky/brown′s method. From the study it is found that the resistance of the craft is decreased and hence speed gain (about 3% of the service speed) can be obtained, when using transom flap for the craft.

  • The creative energy of the Korean women who pursued spiritual artistic practices under the limited situation of male-dominated confucian society in the Chosun Dynasty(AD 1392 - AD 1910) constituted the background for the development of Gubang Craft. Gubang Craft represented their artistic abilities, moral and family values, and the pursuit of self-esteem. Especially embroidery successfully showed four main elements of Gubang Craft such as embellishment, diversity, femininity, and craftsmanship. This paper is designed to explore how the traditional elements of embroidery works are restored and have influence on the modern Korean fiber art.

  • This study examines the process of Korea's acceptance of the concept of Art Craft through research on ancient remains and relices (朝鮮古蹟調査) and a series of projects undertaken by the Japanese Government-General of Korea, and the traditions and canons of craft established in the process. Crafts defined in law referred to fine and exquisite techniques for creating antiques, or genres of art such as painting or sculpture. The Yi Royal Family Museum and the Museum of the Japanese Government-General of Korea spearheaded the popularization of the term "Mi-sul-gong-ye (Art Craft, 美術工藝)." The artworks displayed in these two museums visually embodied past traditions. In general, the term "craft" was frequently used to refer to ancient art, and crafts specifically became traditions to be protected and conserved by designation as legal treasures for display in museums. The establishment of traditions and canons of craft exerted a great influence on crafts produced during this era. The cultural policies and imperial tastes of Japan played a crucial role in this process. In previous research, scholars divided the concept of craft in the modern era into two categories: industrial craft and art craft. However the so-called "art craft" is not a homogeneous category. It includes both ancient art (antiques) and the pieces made in modern age. Ancient art became canonized and the basis of contemporary production. Moreover, features of contemporary craft were diverse. By subdividing concepts of art and crafts, which have hitherto been discussed collectively, this study will serve as groundwork for accurately understanding "invented traditions" and features of modern craft.
