This is an amazing original vintage mid-century teal Korean Asian Hanbok Kimono (jacket & skirt). Made in the 50's this is in perfect condition and must have been barely worn. The pleasing color is calming, the imprinted fabric is gorgeous and the shirt dress ties in the back with the short jacket that makes a bow from very long ties. The chima skirt and jeogori top are quite different from the traditional kimono as it has unusual sleeves that go wide in the center and taper at both ends with a short jacket that ends just under the bust area. The women's hanbok has beauty of structure and form, with its short jacket (Jeogori) paired with a full skirt, possesses a simple structural beauty and rhythmic flow that complement the body's movements and has traditional needlework techniques that are shown in my photos. The needlework is masterful and extraordinary!The hanbok radiates a natural physical beauty in its attractive silhouette and lines, which allow for unrestrained movement of the body and is made with flat fabric in a linear shape that only achieves dimensionality when it is worn on the body. When placed on the human frame, the hanbok takes on a life of its own—one that is natural, elegant and flowing. The full shape of the hanbok emphasizes the wearer's authority and dignity. While this may have been impractical, it was nevertheless a feature that made hanbok a reflection of social status and propriety. The simple harmony of the color palette created by limiting the number of bright colors used places greater weight on the wearer's character over the hanbok's decoration.
Size: XS
Excellent Condition! (I have a slightly different Hanbok Kimono on Ebay in a bright gold color that is also beautiful)
