Entering the era
Place and time: Hanseong (Seoul), Joseon Korea · 1600–1800. Look for: Palaces, tiled hanok, city gates, markets. Hanbok, gat hats, scholar and servant dress. Markets, food, medicine, civil examinations and family rites. This is an atmosphere-led guide, not a reconstruction of actual events. Use regional textile scholarship before treating embellished screen hanbok as documented.
