Abstract
There are plentiful and diverse culture assets and local sources in Taiwan, and thus the national soft power has been valued gradually, the traditional craft industries also being focused as well. Koji pottery art has essential place in the architectures of Taiwan tempos, and it was considered as the representation of gods in the local belief which was sacredness in Taiwan. However, the elaborate Kogi pottery art which was applied in tempo architectures is intergrading in people’s life at home due to the constructive promotion to cultural creative industries from the government. Therefore, the study collected and discussed the develop status of Kogi pottery crafts via literature analysis extensively, as well as to explore the differences of the traditional implements that introduce to life art and analyze the styles via morphological analysis. The study has three conclusions as follows: 1. New opportunity can be created by introducing cultural creative ideas to Kogi pottery industry which allow it transforming to elaborate craft industry from traditional one. (2) Kogi pottery art work still has the unique style by describing abstract implications through concrete forms. (3) Kogi pottery is trending toward simplification but nonetheless retains its symbolic meaning and achieves its goal of continuing its cultural heritage.
