“Ubung”is a weaving box. Which was usually made of thick tree trunks hollowed out. Using Formosan Michelia or Comphor Tree, both are hard wood. Plus, a one-piece design is strong and durable itself, therefore an old “ubung” is able to carry very heavy warped threads. A “ubung” is now made of spliced heavy wooden planks together. Benifit from modern carpenter knowledge, a new assembled “ubung” can be as sturdy as old ones.

The “ubung” is fixed to the weaver’s waist by a strap, ensuring that the warp threads can move steadily during the weaving process. Unlike other weaving tools, this particular loom has the weaver sitting on the ground with his feet firmly supporting the wooden box while hanging the ends of the cloth spools around her waist. The ends of the warp threads are wound around the warp barrel of the “UBUNG”, creating a stable weaving structure.

The size of the “ubung” is quite large, and because it is usually made from a whole section of trunk hollowed out, so it is not small in size and weight. The hollow part makes a pleasant sound when weaving. The echo from “ubung” accompanies the rhythms of different weavers’ labor compose the BGM of Taroko  way of weaving. Therefore the famous Taroko  weaving song start the lyrics with onomatopoeias of the echo.

The hollowed-out part of a “ubung”, could also be used to place various weaving tools as we mentioned before. When a “ubung” is not at use, the weaver put the Semi-finished, warp rolls, and other accessories into it. The hallow part makes storage and working sequence graceful, and protects these important weaving tools. 

There is usually a reel for warp threads fixed at one end of a “ubung”. This design allows the weaver to straighten the warp threads with less effort, making the whole weaving process smooth and efficient. In addition, this design provides good support for the front part of a “ubung”, ensuring stability during weaving.
