Bojagi are traditional Korean wrapping cloths that can be used for carrying, storing, or covering items, and for wrapping gifts. Bojagi were used widely during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1897) and are thought to have existed already since ancient times.

Traditional bojagi can be categorized by their owners' social class, structure, production methods, materials, usage, and so on. Thus, a wide variety of bojagi exist such as bojagi used in the royal palace, bojagi used by commoners during their daily life or special events, bojagi made by joining pieces together, bojagi with embroidery, transparent one layered bojagi, two layered bojagi, bojagi for wrapping clothes, bojagi for wrapping money, and bojagi for covering food to prevent dust.

Among them, patchwork bojagi are attracting attention from across the world today due to their timeless and unique beauty. They are called jogakbo, and were originally made by common people joining together small remaining fabric pieces for example from making hanbok, traditional Korean clothes.

During Confucianism in Joseon dynasty, women spent a lot of time at home and made handicrafts for their families. Connecting small fabrics one by one is also a prayer for longevity, and it was believed that wrapping things with bojagi sewed together by hand with all one's heart would bring good fortune.

In addition to making bojagi, they also used small pieces of fabric to make pouches, pin cushions, decorations, etc. These small traditional handicrafts embody great skill and wisdom. Rooted in the beliefs and philosophies of their time, many carry symbols wishing for good fortune and safety.

Today, bojagi represented by jogakbo fascinate many people not only as wrapping cloths but also as interior items or art pieces due to the variety of designs achieved through beautiful fabrics and patchwork.
