Craft documentation is a module that facilitates primary and secondary research of a craft, as well
as its analysis, in a holistic manner.
Such documentation is a tool to enable one to understand the traditional crafts culture of a region as well as understand the region through the craft.
Research and documentation allows one to realise and compare experiences, narratives and practices of a time in a larger context of geo-political and socio-economic worldview.
The document streamlines its vision from the macro lens of perfumery around the world to a more specific lens of perfumery in the Indian city of Kannauj.
