Lima Living Workshop Introduction
Lima Living Workshop has transformed from an old ceramic factory, integrating industry, leisure, dining, and indigenous and Hakka cultures, making it quite unique. The workshop offers a wide variety of life ceramics featuring totems and patterns from various indigenous peoples, which are highly popular. The workshop's owner, Nan Hsien-Tian, is from the Puyuma tribe in Taitung. In the past, he operated a ceramic factory in Daxi Village, Zaoqiao Township, focusing on decorative ceramics primarily for export. Over a decade ago, as the export ceramic industry began to decline, Nan Hsien-Tian "returned to the starting point" and rethought his approach. Seven years ago, he began designing a series of ceramics featuring indigenous totem styles, creating a distinctive identity. The name Lima is derived from the indigenous word for "five," represented by the open hand with five fingers, symbolizing the vitality of indigenous peoples who craft items with their own hands. The couple integrates the unique characteristics of their Hakka and indigenous cultures into the ceramics and dining, showcasing a unique style that belongs to Lima.
