Paiwan Three Treasures Craft Museum Introduction
By chance, the “Father of Paiwan Glass Beads” – Wu Mas, discovered that he had been so caught up in the life of the Han people that he had forgotten about the glass bead culture within his tribe, which was worth studying. He began to research the long-lost glass bead making techniques, and after many years, he finally found a special formula for the raw materials that allowed him to develop realistic glass bead strings. This not only provided a path for cultural entrepreneurship in the tribe, but what he was truly grateful for was the women of the tribe, as these bead strings, symbols of identity and status, returned to their cultural life during weddings, gradually reconnecting the fragmented culture.
