Red Silk Robe

Jebok were the ceremonial robes worn by the king when performing rites at Jongmyo Shrine and the altars of state. They resemble in shape the jobok worn on occasions of national celebration, but the gilt crown worn with them, the yanggwan, carries far less gold decoration, and instead of the red jeokchoui robe, a blue cheongchoui robe was worn. This particular robe is made of red gapsa, a sheer silk, with a black border running along the collar and hem and a white line about 0.3 cm wide set between the borders. According to the Gyeongguk daejeon (National Code), this robe matches the appearance of the jobok worn at the end of the Korean Empire period, and differs from the gangsapo, the king's jobok, and from the gujangbok, his ritual jebok. It is therefore likely that this robe was not worn by the king but was a jobok worn by civil and military officials. Note on change of designated name: changed from "Gojong sajebok" to "Jeokchoui" (21 April 2006).
