Details:
This research mainly focuses on the vicissitude process of embroidery craft and industry in Taiwan. The embroidery skill once symbolized the virtuous characters of Taiwanese women, but now this exquisite skill is almost disappeared. Due to the popularity of machine processing and the gradual vanish of old skillful artisans, the embroidery store which monopolizes the religion embroidery has gradually declining. Thus, there is actually an urgent work to keep the records with regard to the embroidery industry history. After accumulating several years? experiences of the research of Taiwanese embroidery, I hope to make an effort to construct a widespread embroidery industry history of Taiwan. The research methods will employ document analysis and field study. The document analysis will review the existing literatures related to the embroidery industry from newspapers, magazines, journals, and official statistical data. Also, the researcher will arrange interviews with the local skillful artisans to collect data.
This research attempts to construct the embroidery history and framework in Taiwan. The analysis of the changes of Taiwan embroidery industry may help government to understand the context embroidery craft. The findings also can be the important references for government to promote embroidery craft creativity industry. Furthermore, it will encourage more in-depth studies about Taiwanese embroidery development and cultural marketing strategy.

A very worthy piece of work, but it is probably too early to articulate the impact of collecting this archive and its relation to the future.

This piece needs to explain the significance of craft in the context of Taiwanese creative industry, followed by discussion of the role of embroidery within contemporary and future culture. It is also difficult to determine the quality of embroidery work that is being referred to.

The abstract suggests an investigation that is worthy of elaboration and discussion. however, the abstract needs to be expanded along the lines suggested by the second reviewer. More consideration of the methods and the implications of the outcome are both required.
