Morning Calm Jogakbo Fabric draws inspiration from the traditional Korean patchwork art known as jogakbo. This craft involves sewing small pieces of leftover fabric, often silk or cotton, into larger, beautifully patterned cloths. Jogakbo originated from bojagi, Korean wrapping cloths used for practical purposes like covering and carrying items or wrapping gifts. Over time, jogakbo evolved into an artistic expression, celebrated for its vibrant color combinations, intricate geometric designs, and cultural significance.
Our Jogakbo fabric is designed to replicate the beauty of jogakbo in an easy to use and affordable fabric that all can appreciate. The design was created by local folk artist Anna M. Jo and each color scheme represents a common theme in traditional folk (minhwa) art: Ocean blue, Spring Flower Pink, Lotus Pond Green, and Dragon Red (See corresponding photos)
