Published by Ewha Womans University Press as part of a project to produce 50 books on Korean culture and arts, "Norigae: Splendor of the Korean Costume" deals intensively with norigae, a decorative pendant hung from the outer or inner breast-tie of the short upper garment (jeogori), or from sashes of the traditional Korean women's costume, called hanbok. It was an accessory item exclusive to the Joseon Dynasty and was made of precious materials such as gold, silver or jade. This book deals with the different types of norigae, their definition, composition, symbolism, as well as related customs and aesthetics. The decorative designs and ornamental details of norigae made it the focal point of women's apparel and created a stark contrast to the generally subdued and understated hanbok. As hanbok established itself in the basic form of short top and long skirt, norigae also became an important ornament which complemented the short jeogori. The widespread popularity of norigaes can be attributed to the fact that it appealed to the aesthetic and emotional sense of Joseon ladies. |
