The Ministry of Communications is issuing these two stamps as the fourth part of a
series introducing traditional Korean clothes. They feature Kumkwanchobok, a formal clothes for court
officials of the Yi Dynasty, and Hwalot, a royal wedding costume worn by a queen or a princess during
the dynasty.
1. Kumkwanchobok: Most splendid of all male clothes of the Yi Dynasty, this costume was worn by various ranking court officials of the dynasty. Having broad sleeves, it has slit in two sides, left and right. Black trimmings with a thin white stripe running in the middle are sewn on the collar, on the edge of sleeves and on other fringes of the clothes. The design and color of Jokchoui, Joksam, Paesul and Jongchoui are uniform regardless of the rank of officials who wear them. The rank was divided into nine categories. The status of the wearer, however, is distinguished by the type of such accessories as cap, Hoksu, waist band, Hol and Paeok. |
