Bojagi (보자기)
Have you ever heard of bojagi? Bojagi is a tradition of wrapping objects in cloth that has been passed down throughout Korean history for centuries. Throughout history, bojagi have been used for both everyday purposes (food coverings, knapsacks, and storage) and ceremonial purposes (weddings, gift wrapping, etc.). Today, bojagi is even recognized as its own art in Korea.
While saekdong originated from Korean womens' designs, bojagi originates from the leftover fabric that would remain after cutting and sewing the cloths. Resulting bojagi could be sent with daughters married off as a symbol of the families always remaining sewn together, though from different cloths.
