The Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines will be launching the Jogakbo exhibit on November 4 at the exhibition area of the Center. The artists, from the Ssamzisarang Boudoir Craft Research Center from the Republic of Korea, will also be holding special two-day classes for Korean traditional knotting on November 4 and 5.
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.
Joining the opening ceremony are Ssamzisarang artists Young-sun Kim, Young-ju Lee, Mi-ae Park and Jae-gu Ha.
The Ssamzisarang Korean Boudoir Craft Research Center is an internet-based community for people who love Korean traditional patchwork. It started as a cyber community nine years ago and has grown into an organization that teaches and learns skills on Jogakbo, Korean traditional knots, embroidery and Korean natural dyeing.
