The ritual robe (jebok) 祭服 was a ceremonial robe that officials used for state rites performed at the Royal Ancestral Shrine and the Altar of the Soil and Grain. During the Joseon dynasty, a state rite was a religious and political ritual, and ritual robe was considered the most important among ceremonial robes. Garments that constituted the ritual robe are very similar to those for the court robe, except for the cloth around the neck 方心曲領 and the undercoat. The upper garment of a ritual robe was in black while the court robe used a red upper garment.
