Jongno Hanbok Festival 3 places to tell you the little things to see

 1. Baek In-je's House

Baek In-je House is accessible through online reservations.

As the viewing time is divided into two-hour increments, we are accommodating 30 visitors per session, three times a day, in line with our social distancing policy. Make a reservation in advance if you want to visit Baek In-je's house on the weekend, a good place for a stroll.

<Note> You can also log in as a non-member by verifying your mobile phone number when making a reservation in advance.

Byeoldangchae is the tallest building in Baek In-jae House. I really enjoyed the process of going there, and I took pictures of the scenery that gave me a good feeling, so it would be fun to even look at them occasionally (a few pictures I took).

If you walk along the path that circulates inside the house, you will also pass a small door that leads to an annex. Completed in the summer of 1913, the house has changed owners several times and was purchased by Baek In-je, the founder of Paik Hospital, in 1944. The original shape of the house was well preserved by his family, and after the transfer of ownership to Seoul in 2009, it was opened to the public in November 2015, allowing you to see the style of modern hanok.

The Jongno Hanbok Festival is being held from October 9 to Sunday, October 24, 2021. This year too, the festival continues its program mainly online, but there are places where small-scale experiential events and exhibitions are held.

The experience program is being conducted non-face-to-face at Baek In-jae House as well. Accessories related to hanbok (jokduri, black ribs used for going out, gonaribotjim used for long trips, and a stylish fan when unfolded) are always on standby in the main hall during the festival.

A few trees in the front yard of Sarangchae have mobiles and green lanterns hung together, so it's nice to see them rustling in the autumn wind. This place was staged in time for the Jongno Hanbok Festival and serves as the main photo zone in Baek In-je's house.

Opening hours of Baek In-je House

1st session: 10 am to noon / 2nd session: 1 to 3 pm / 3rd session: 4 to 6 pm

Confirmation of reservation and admission Available after check-in and temperature check

The viewing time per episode is not extended. For example, even if you enter late at 11 am for the first viewing, the viewing must be completed by noon.

2. Seosunla-gil, Jongno

As I was walking along Seosunla-gil in Jongno, I found a post announcing the Jongno Hanbok Festival. The Seosunla-gil Craft Council experience program is held in 9 workshops. You can try making a craft that goes well with hanbok, and it is said that you can make a goblin norigae made by sewing a triangular piece of silk in layers and filling it with cotton.

Shipbuilding upcycling.

Since it is impossible to throw away the colors of each piece of cloth left behind, it is a piece of paper made by collecting scraps of cloth. Since all the time I put in sewing according to the layout I had envisioned for the harmony of colors was put in the jigsaw paper, it is a waste to feel the pride of completing it and unfolding it alone.

Is it an exhibition hall? Is it a cafe?

There is an exhibition related to the Hanbok Festival, and when I asked the location, he kindly informs me of the location of the stairs leading to the underground exhibition space with my fingertips.

One of the walls was decorated like an image wall at a glance and I almost forgot that there was still a staircase left.

Although there is no scent, it is very pretty and pretty.

I was able to listen to the explanations related to the exhibition for about 5 minutes, but it opened an opportunity to increase the artistic value by collecting unused hanbok and reborn as a new product, so the value of 'upcycling' shines.

The pocketless hanbok comes in a variety of sizes and shapes, and the small pockets that are easy to carry are developed along with the knots and the method of making and decorating them. Fine Korean paper or leather can be used to create a pocket that balances the practical and decorative aspects, but it is appropriate to use the sculptural fabric left over from the hanbok as it can be wrinkled or pulled through the pockets.

The pockets made by using the hanbok that are not worn can be used to enhance the angle and to make the pockets gathered in a circle. Because of its round shape, it seems to be able to fill all kinds of food in the world.

Gallery Soyeon is a place where you can see new uses of donated hanbok.

● Visiting hours are from 10 am to 7 pm.

● Location: B1, 149 Seosunla-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul

● Admission: Free

3. Bukchon Village Information Center

The Bukchon Village Information Center, located near the Jeongdok Library in Seoul, is also operated along with the exhibition space. During the 2021 Jongno Hanbok Festival, you can receive 4 postcards with pretty hanbok illustrations and a paper sleeve made to commemorate the festival.

On the back of the postcard, a few lines of information related to hanbok are printed. Here are some reasons why children's hanboks are made of five colors of fabric. Although colorful colors are conveyed to the viewer, the wish for happiness and disease-free longevity of children is the same as before and now.

<Note>
