【腳踩花鞋遊古城】－ 年繡花鞋

台南人。

李老闆年輕時和山東師傅學習製鞋技術，在民國70多年時開了年繡花鞋這間店，他說在那個年代，製作繡花鞋是每戶人家必備的技能。當時的中正路是府城數一數二的熱鬧商區，辦嫁妝的人家、從其他城市搭客運來逛街採買的人潮，當時店裡的營業時間從早上七點到晚上十二點，每一天都好不熱鬧。雖然有點苦惱現在穿繡花鞋的人少了，其中大多都是宗教和表演等特殊性用途，但老闆仍維持實惠的價格，希望繡花鞋的美學能被傳承下去。

喜愛美術的李老闆，閒暇之餘常常逛書店，最喜歡讀圖像類別的書籍，刺激視覺靈感。近幾年李老闆也開始愛上旅行，對他來說旅行的迷人之處在於到不同的地方感受之後，便會變成不同的生命，上個月造訪了土耳其的他，接下來還計畫去祕魯當背包客，希望藉著各種文化的激盪，感受如同繡花的多樣美學。

最喜歡的台南景點：安平海邊。
