Silk Fabric Woven with the Five Noble Plants Pattern

This woven fabric shows the five noble plants pattern. A fabric like this was used for the lining of dangui in the collection of the Sookmyung Women's University Museum. One more motif symbolizing wealth, the peony, is added to the traditional Four Noble Plants pattern (plum blossom, chrysanthemum, orchid, and bamboo) that represent the literati. This fabric was developed in 2014 with funding from the Hanbok Advancement Center.
