Bojagi (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Bojagi or bo for short (also pojagi or bojaki) is a traditional Korean wrapping cloth. Bojagi are square and can be made from a variety of materials, though silk is common. Embroidered bojagi are known as subo. Bojagi have many uses, including as gift wrapping, in weddings, and in Buddhist rites. The "Korean Beauty" postage stamp series included a stamp in 1997 to honor bojagi as part of the rich cultural heritage of Korea. Bojagi flourished during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), although their beginnings appear to be from the Three Kingdoms Period.
