Everyday Markets of Taiwan moves through wet markets and alleys, tracing choreography of buying, waiting and conversation. It reads the city through hand-painted signs, price tags, canopies and rain reflections—the visual language of the everyday. Ten chapters track one day, from dawn deliveries to night bazaars; interviews open each chapter. Not nostalgia, the work pairs fading craft with living practice, asking how tradition is remade. A pineapple-print slipcase echoes fruit boxes; a red couplet band, a lay-flat spine and textured papers keep it tactile—a bridge between people and tradition.
