Kesi (simplified Chinese: 莽录鈥毭ぢ嘎; traditional Chinese: 莽路鈩⒚德; pinyin: k脙篓s脛芦; K'o-ssu in Wade-Giles) is a technique in Chinese silk tapestry, admired for its lightness and clarity of pattern. It is a tapestry weave, initially used for small pieces, often with animal, bird and flower decoration, or dragons for imperial clothing, under the Ming dynasty it was used to copy paintings. "K'o-ssu" means "cut silk", as the technique uses short lengths of weft thread that are tucked into the textile. Only the weft threads are visible in the finished fabric. Unlike continuous weft brocade, in k'o-ssu each colour area was woven from a separate bobbin, making the style both technically demanding and time-consuming. K'o-ssu first appeared during the Tang Dynasty (618芒鈧907), and became popular in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127芒鈧1279), reaching its height during the Ming dynasty (1368芒鈧1644). The style continued to be popular until the early 20th century, and the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1911芒鈧12.
