Embroidery refers to the activity of decorating fabric with patterns using needles and threads of various colors. It developed organically as people began to decorate items of clothing. The Records of the Three Kingdoms writes that people of Buyeo and Goguryeo wore garments adorned with embroidery. Meanwhile, a four-panel folding screen of Goryeo adorned with embroidery of potted flowers shows the delicate taste of the literati of the time. Depending on its purpose, embroidery is divided into three types: clothing, household and artistic embroidery. In Joseon’s court, decorating garments with embroidery was deemed an extravagance and thus discouraged. Therefore, clothing embroidery was confined to ceremonial dresses. Meanwhile, household articles were sumptuously embroidered with designs of auspicious patterns. In addition, folding screens with embroidered painting and calligraphy were appreciated as valuable artwork in themselves.
This exhibition displays a wide range of Joseon embroidery: embroidery found in ceremonial robes such as insignia badges; wedding embroidery for the bride; embroidery for children’s garments designed in hopes of their long and healthy life; and embroidery on household articles that reflects the embroiderers’ wish for abundant wealth. Moreover, this exhibition also displays foreign embroidery techniques introduced via school education, as well as modern embroidery based on picturesque designs, as an overview for the transformation process of embroidery. The various embroidery works on display present the opportunity to witness our ancestors’ skill in turning their daily wishes into art.
