928:, not the "style" that makes it kesi. No it's not usually "made for hanging on a wall" (but sometimes it was, in the style of scroll paintings), but nor is it usefully described as "a general-purpose style of artisan weaving", whatever that means. It was fantastically time-consuming for a skilled weaver to produce, and therefore very expensive, and latterly mostly made in Imperial workshops. There are two long and authorative sources given in FR from the Metropolitan MA if you want to do "a little more research". I agree that if "kesi" is used, it can't really be primary. 95: 85: 64: 814:, also titled "Kesi", says "Chinese silk tapestry woven in a pictorial design." Overall my feeling is still that using "Kesi" as the title is better than a description like "Chinese silk tapestry". "Kesi" makes it clearer that we're identifying a specific tradition/style, most sources seem to give more specific definitions than "Chinese silk tapestry", and most English-language sources seem to rely primarily on the term "kesi"/"ko-ssu". — 190: 169: 292: 274: 200: 33: 302: 435: 759:

Sorry, I should have specified page 13. As for "Chinese silk tapestry" – is kèsī the only type of silk tapestry in China? That's an honest question; I don't know the answer. —

a move to "Kesi" (we should use pinyin over Wade-Giles except where there's clear evidence that Wade-Giles is more common), no preference on what parenthetical is used.
1035: 399: 141: 958:. When I sort-of concurred that "tapestry" is a bit exotic indeed, and a layman could easily take it for a "thing hung on the wall", you're now teaching me that 1055: 246: 782:) which defines 缂丝 as "a type of weaving done in fine silks and gold thread by the tapestry method" and "Chinese silk tapestry woven in a pictorial design". — 1060: 1030: 721:
I suppose you mean pp 11-12, and perhaps later ones. Note the book also uses "Chinese tapestry" when it is clear that only silk is meant. I am fine with
