| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this article is to examine the correlation between embodied knowledge and craft makers' confirmation of how knowledge that is not easily be verbalized can be transmitted and embodied in their training and experience.
This study focuses on the creation of kalamkari, which is a traditional, hand-painted temple cloth in South India. The technique for creating the cloth is difficult to relate to others in any explicit manner. However, it has been possible to transmit the technique through a master-apprentice relationship. The embodiment of this “traditional” technique becomes tacit knowledge for the apprentice, who develops an identity as a maker of handicrafts and might then transmit this “implicit knowledge.”
