주 필리핀 한국문화원에서 열리고 있는 조각보(Jogakbo)전시회 이모저모입니다. 전 세계 곳곳에 아름다운 한국의 조각보가 전시되었으면 합니다.
Jogakbo generally refers to the Korean traditional patchwork and is an expression of the Korean women's sense of beauty and creativity. Having been passed down from generations for six centuries, this craft has been used mainly to create various household items and are usually sourced from leftover clothes.
These boudoir craft varies on the shapes (speckled design, or oblique lines), linings (single or double-layered), color (natural dye, embroidered), type (silk, hemp, ramie, cotton) and function (daily usage, special occasions).
Historically, these patchworks were used for daily practical uses, wedding gifts as well as household decorations. The use of jogakbo in modern times has been widespread and is generally used for designs of everyday accessories such as bags, pouches, bookmarks and breastpins.
