Description

Maedeup: The Art of Traditional Korean Knots 
Maedeup is a language of the hands, a flower of the heart. It was like a kind of wings for Korean culture, leading the Korean spirit into flight, like the wings of the bats adorning a Joseon nobleman’s coat, and the wings of butterflies and phoenixes that decorate silver daggers. This book introduces the history of maedeup, its uses, and the making of maedeup, through detailed explanation and illustrations.
