History
[edit]
It is said that thejokduriwas derived from theMongolianwoman's cap for outing, thegogori(CôCô), in the lateGoryeo period.It began to be used in that period as intermarriages between Goryeo and theYuan dynastyofChinahappened. However, thejokduriduring the Goryeo period is assumed to have been bigger and higher than the type seen in the Joseon period.
During the Joseon dynasty, thejokduribecame smaller, with little difference in the overall shape between the top and the bottom. During the reign ofKing Gwanghaegun,black silk began to be used for the covering, whereas purple silk was used as the inner fabric. Thereafter, as women enjoyed wearing ajokduri,it became almost a national style in fashion.
In the late Joseon period,King Yeongjo(r. 1724–1776) andJeongjo(r. 1776–1800) prohibited women from wearinggache(wigs) and, instead, encouraged them to wear thejokduri.In 1788, the 12th year of King Jeongjo's reign, he published an interdictory decree onjokduri,a prohibition against excessive usage of cloisonné decorations, and the designation of black fabrics for the inner material such as cotton andbamboo.
Different kinds ofjokguriare used for weddings, funerals, and for daily use in the royal court.
