Impressive Work At The Seoul Museum of Craft Art

Nothing like seeing crafts done at a high level to humble a person. There's plenty of humbling going on at the Seoul Museum of Craft Art. Wood carving, dishware and, of course, silk textile work. Consider one humbled.

One of the galleries. Wood and clay, beautifully manipulated.

Classically carved wooden furniture works. Early 20th century dishes. Department store available, swanky.

Enough of the under-card pieces, let's get to the headliners, silk textile works. Colorful robe. Yes, please.

Oh, boy. Seriously? Flowers, plants and birds? Behold the humble bojagi, a "wrapping cloth." It could have been a glorified rag. It's not.

Oh, it certainly isn't a simple swatch of fabric for hauling laundry.
