Embroidery Patterns on Craftwork in Life in the Yi Dynasty

Korean traditional pattern of craft work in life in the Yi dynasty is remarkably different from the foreign's in traditional esthetic sense. In Korean traditional cra ftwork, natural ism is most emphasized based on its expres sion pattern and composition. Severa l materials such as fabric. gold foil and embroidery were used for the craftwork. Of these, embroidery was most widely practiced by the Korean woman who was allowed to live only at limited residence in all life under the strict socia l custom in the Yi dynasty. The pattern design of embroidery handcraft was found to be very exquisite and decorative. Learning embroidery handcraft was the basis of the development of principal womanly virtue at the old dynasty. Embroidery pattern indicates that adaptation of strict social custom and artistic creativity of excellent skill development even under strict womanly life were closely related. Alth ough it is important for Korean traditional civiliza tio n to be harm onized with other foreign civi lizations, but it also should be permanently kept and maintained in future. This is the only way to create our own Korean traditional civilization eve n against globalization.
