  What is “bojagi”  

Bojagi is Korean traditional wrapping paper, usually made from silk and ramie. In the past when there was no bag or purse available, Korean people used bojagi to carry things as well as to wrap presents. Today, people use it to wrap a present for important occasions like exchanging gifts between soon-to-be family-in-law. This is a common culture among other East Asisan countries such as Japan and China. What each country calls wrapping cloth is different and aesthetics may vary.

  What to expect:  

─ Exhibitions: bojagi and tranditional costume display including Chinese Royal Clothes and samurai armo, bojagi photography and high-tech fabric booth.

─ Interactive/in-hand experience programs: DIY fabric, trying on traditional costumes from 3 countries on tourist settings, jian zhi(paper cutting), performance including statue mime and lion dance, rock-scissors-paper contest and traditional games.

─ Food: Daegu Bojagi Festival re-creates East Asia’s street market where you can eat delicious treats and 3 countries’ souvenirs
