Phong Huangmun Humanities Bulletin [鳳凰紋 引紋袱]
In the Joseon court, cloths of various materials, sizes, and shapes were widely used. Important gifts were carefully packaged with silk cloths and strings, and even in the living spaces of the palace, such as sedimentation, suragan, and barn, cloths were essential household items to wrap and cover various items. Some of the cloths in the National Palace Museum are written in ink, such as the contents, place of use, time of production, size, and quantity. The entire beam is divided into a grid and a pair of phoenixes surrounded by multiple layers of performance (連珠紋) are drawn in the center, and the nematodes (圓壽紋) are placed in the four-corner compartments. Bomun (紋) such as Geumjeong (犀角), Seogak (扇), Seonbo (葫盧), and Horo (手柑), and fruit gates such as tangerines, peaches, Buddhist 錠, and pomegranates are arranged alternately.

Product Description
Rooted in the elegance of the Joseon royal court, this 100% silk scarf is inspired by pojagi — the traditional Korean wrapping cloths once used inside the royal palace to carry precious gifts and ceremonial objects. Designed by Danha, a Seoul-based brand dedicated to reinterpreting Korean heritage aesthetics for modern life, each scarf carries hand-drawn traditional patterns brought to life on luxurious pure silk.
The central motif features a majestic pair of phoenixes (bonghwang) encircled by layered yeonjumun (連珠紋) pearl-bead border patterns, a design drawn directly from an artifact held at the National Palace Museum of Korea. Surrounding the phoenixes, the grid-divided composition alternates between bowmun (treasure symbols such as gold ingots, rhinoceros horn, folding fans, and gourds) and gwasil-mun (fruit motifs including tangerines, peaches, Buddha's hand citrus, and pomegranates). Every element carries a deep traditional symbolism: longevity, prosperity, peace, and the blessing of many descendants.
Available in two distinctive colourways — Orange and Pink — each version interprets the same royal composition through a different emotional lens. The Orange colourway radiates warmth and vitality; the Pink colourway offers a softer, more romantic sensibility. Both are equally striking when worn as a neck scarf, tied to a bag, used as a decorative pocket square, or displayed as a small textile art piece.
All patterns are hand-drawn original artwork by Danha's design atelier, making each scarf a wearable piece of Korean cultural heritage.
