Whats is... a Hanbok?





What is a Hanbok you say!
Hanbok's are traditional Korean dress. When translated, Hanbok literally means "Korean Clothing".
Vibrant in color, simple and elegant in line and form. The Hanbok can be traced back as far as the Three Kingdoms Period ( 57 B.C - 668 A.D. )
The upper garment of the Hanbok is call a Jeogori and the bottom, skirt like part, is called a Chima. In male dress, the Jeogori is longer and is paired with a pair of baggy trousers called
Baji. The silk shoes, which usually have flower pattern embroidery are called Kkotsin.
Commoners in Korean society wore white, except during festivals and special celebrations. Clothing for the upper class were brightly colored and indicated the wearers status in korean society.
Hanbok worn today are patterned after those worn during the Confucian oriented, Josen Dynasty. (1392-1910)

Makeebster: Yuck, Triscuits!
Tecktonikbootz: What's wrong with Triscuits?
Makeebster: They taste like your eating wheat and sand, mad tasteless.
{Makeebster reads the nutrition lable on the Kashi Whole Grain Crakers}
Makeebster: Mmm, mmm! What the hell is tocopherol acetate? Fine! I'll eat the fucking
sand.
