Different kinds of Korean Hats

Hi Fellas!
Last time I visit the Museum located in BGC, Manila.
"The Metropolitan Museum"

The museums have 3 exhibits;

• Korea "a land of Hats"

• The Hat of the Matter

• Quick turn on Hyper Highways

For this blog, I will focus on Traditional Korean Hats and I'm gonna drop some photos that I've captured during my visit.

Korea is called the Land of Hats.

In traditional Korean society, it was customary for men to wear a hat when they went out because the appropriate presentation was significant. You could quickly identify a man by his hat because hats differed by rank, occupation, ceremony, and season. Scholars who studied Confucianism used one width of cloth to wear as a "bokgeon" that dropped in a natural curve from the crown to the back of the head or the "yugeon" with pointy folded sides. A boy celebrating his first birthday wore a "hogeon" that was inspired by the face of a tiger to chase off evil spirits. Galmo a portable hat made by folding oiled paper blocked the rain. In the chilly winter, men wore "Hwiwang" which enhances insulation by adding animal fur to the lining and covering the shoulders. Horsehair, bamboo, straw, cloth, paper, and fur were used to create hats of different shapes that matched the season.
