A Study on the Design of Wooden Cultural Products Using the Mimaji Mask of Baekje

This study Regarding the Baekje Mimaji mask, we aim to design cultural products that apply the form of the mask and mask dance through research on the need to reproduce the mask and the mask. The Baekje Mimaji masks selected are Okong, Oney, Taegoa, and Garura. The reason for selection considered the meaning and form of the Mimaji mask. Okong symbol- izes the smile and solemnity of Baekje, so it is applied to the design of a tabletop hand mirror, and the small hexagonal half is made using the inlay technique on three sides of the engraving with the neat impression of five women, the Taegoa with a classic smile, and the mysterious bird Garura. Cultural products using the Baekje Mimaji mask, a cultural heritage of Baekje, im- ply the meaning and spirit inherent in the cultural heritage, so when the culture is commercial- ized and developed, its value has both traditional meaning and modern design elements. This serves as an opportunity to reflect once again on the beauty of traditional culture and the leg- acy left behind by our ancestors through specific cultural products. As such, the purpose of de- veloping wooden cultural products with the Baekje Mimaji mask pattern, which is the subject of this study, is to revitalize the stagnant wooden cultural product market by using this as an op- portunity to look back on the past at the present time.
