Composite bows made by zhang kun
about chraftsman
Zhang Kun was born into carpentry family in northern China.
His father and grandfather were true chraftsman.
During his childhood years, he practiced sports, and by chance he took exam for fine arts major, which lead to his graduation from the School of Arts at Yanshan University.
Durinh his university years (2010-2014) while creating props for film and television productions, he began learning to make traditional bows.
Fortune will have it that despite his high education, family roots pulled him into family tradition of chraftsmanship.
Mr. Zhang Kun is widely recognized as one of China’s preeminent bowyers. His creations exemplify exquisite craftsmanship and exceptional performance, embodying both precision and artistry. Blending time-honored traditions with his own innovative techniques, Zhang’s work stands as a testament to the living legacy of classical bow making. Much like an Italian exotic car, each of his bows is a harmonious fusion of aesthetic beauty and mechanical perfection.
