The clothes (pictured) of Myeonam Choi Ik-hyeon (1833-1907), who led the anti-Japanese resistance motion towards Japanese invasion, might be designated as a nationwide heritage.

On the first, the Nationwide Heritage Administration introduced its intention to designate the ‘Myeonam Choi Ik-hyeon Official Uniform’ as a nationwide people cultural heritage. The relics embrace 5 gadgets, together with the official uniform, Danryeong, the official hat, Samo, a gold belt, a ho-pae, and wood footwear.

Danryeong is the official uniform worn by Choi Ik-hyeon between 1855 and 1870, when he was a Dangha-gwan (堂下官) of the third rank or decrease, and gives a glimpse into the clothes of low-ranking officers within the late Joseon Dynasty. The samo is a mode that dates again to 1870, when Choi Ik-hyeon was promoted to Dangsang-gwan. It’s characterised by a fluttery sample created by the skinny, thick, plain-weave cloth that’s lined in layers on each horns. The sapgeumdae, made of latest supplies launched to Joseon through the port opening interval, gives proof of the adjustments in Joseon craft expertise within the late nineteenth century. The ho-pae has historic worth as it’s engraved with the date of manufacturing (1855) and the identify. The cotton footwear clearly present the transitional manufacturing strategy of the time, when the only of the shoe modified from a type that went as much as the toe to a flat type.

Choi Ik-hyeon, often known as the “final scholar of Joseon,” was stripped of his official place in 1868 (the fifth yr of King Gojong’s reign) for submitting a petition criticizing the misgovernment of Heungseon Daewongun. In 1895, when Japan’s invasion started in earnest, he was imprisoned for resisting the Japanese hair-cutting order. After the Eulsa Treaty of 1905 was signed, he led an anti-Japanese volunteer military motion, was arrested the next yr, and was exiled to Tsushima Island, the place he died a martyr.
