Jang-ot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jang-ot

A Jang-ot (장옷/長衣) is a type of po[1][2] worn by women of the Joseon Dynasty period as a veil to cover their faces.[3] Jang-ot is similar to durumagi, or the outer jacket of a hanbok.[3] The difference is a jang-ot has a collar (git) and a ribbon for tying (goreum).[3]

The jang-ot was previously one of the most representative women's overcoat; it was worn as a women's overcoat when they would leave their house until the 17th century.[4][5] According to the principles of the Joseon Dynasty's Confucianism, women were ordered not to show their face to foreign men, so they would cover their faces in many ways while going out.[3] The jang-ot became a headdress by the mid of the 18th century to conceal face and upper bodies when walking in public under this influence.[5]
