 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2023) |
Korean fabric arts[1] are fabric arts in the style or tradition used by the people on the Korean Peninsula. Fabrics often used include guksa, nobang, sha, jangmidan, Korean-made jacquard, brocade, and satin. Specific crafts consist of the Korean quilts known as bojagi, Korean embroidery, Korean knots, Korean clothing, and the rarer arts of Korean blinds weaving and Korean paper clothing.
Historical context
[edit]It can be difficult to study very old fabrics because they degrade over time. The oldest surviving examples of bojagi, for example, are from the Joseon Dynasty, which was from 1392-1910CE.[2]
During the Joseon Dynasty, due to the Confucian society, women were not allowed to leave their house or its courtyard during the day, and when they did go out, they had to be covered by cloth. With these restrictions, being able to create fabric arts was likely a welcome outlet of expression.[3]
Symbolic meaning
[edit]Author Youngmin Lee says making a fiber arts piece using the clothing of family members is meant to bring them prosperity.[4]
