A study on Textile Design using Longevity Patterns in the Joseon Dynasty

Abstract

Whether in the East or the West, all human beings wish for health and longevity. Since ancient times, the origin of longevity has been passed down through historical records and oral traditions. In the Joseon Dynasty, our nation developed a collection of items containing the expression of longevity. There are cultural assets such as clothes, furniture, and buildings with longevity patterns used in the royal family of the Joseon Dynasty. It is being reinterpreted by being grafted into many fields as a formative expression in art culture and contemporary design culture. This study investigated the preferences of modern people about animals and plants that wish for longevity, and developed textile design based on the results.
