Milu Workshop Introduction
Teacher Shen Meilu said: My workshop was originally going to be named after my father, "Basang," partly because my father passed away a long time ago, and partly because during the process of learning weaving, there were several times I wanted to give up. However, it seemed that my father was silently encouraging me not to give up, which allowed me to persist until today. To commemorate my father, I applied to the New Taipei City Government at that time, and I felt very disappointed when I heard that the name "Basang" had already been registered. Later, I heard someone suggest using the phonetic pronunciation of my name "Meilu," and because my workshop faces the Nanshih Stream, there is a saying among Chinese people: "Water brings prosperity." So, adding the "water" component, I came up with the name "Meilu."
