Bojagi means 'wrapping blessings.'

It’s a traditional Korean cloth used to wrap, protect, and carry items.

Its use dates back to the Goryeo dynasty, where records from 1281 describe a red cloth wrapping a golden bowl, suggesting early symbolic and practical use.

In royal courts, silk Bojagi stored and protected valuables.
Later, it became part of daily life, used for clothes, bundles, and embroidered covers.

Before bags, people used bojagi to carry goods.

Today, it’s used for gift wrapping and textile art.

Since the 1980s, it’s gained global attention, especially through Jogakbo (patchwork), though bojagi is much more.
