EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1912, offers a glimpse into the rich history and craftsmanship of Burmese umbrella making in Myanmar. The image showcases a group of skilled artisans, huddled together in an extended family-run workshop, meticulously crafting paper umbrellas. The atmosphere is one of focused intensity, as each member of the group performs their specific role in the production process. The umbrellas, which are a staple in Burmese culture, are made from a thin, lightweight paper called "sa-ba-gyi," which is coated with a waterproof lacquer. The intricate designs and vibrant colors are achieved through the use of natural dyes, creating a unique and beautiful final product. The business of umbrella making in Myanmar dates back centuries, with records indicating that it was a thriving industry even during the British colonial period. The craft was passed down from generation to generation, with families like the one depicted in this photograph continuing to uphold the tradition. Despite the advancements in technology and the availability of mass-produced umbrellas, the art of Burmese umbrella making remains alive and well. The dedication and expertise of the makers ensure that each umbrella is a work of art, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Myanmar.
