COVERINGS

Breathing life into traditional forms

There are many types of bojagi made specifically for covering foodstuffs, furniture and other objects. These are called Sampo, Takwangkpo and Bansampo. Though this section includes the conventional styles of bojagi, we’ve also added other contemporary designs for tableware and craft supplies.

Sampo

Sampo is a bojagi for covering edibles. To make lifting and holding it easier, a handle has been attached to the center of the piecework.

Machine-stitched Sampo

The fabric pieces in gradated hues of indigo are stitched together using a sewing machine*. The decorative pinch stitches/pleats are added by machine as well.

Iyoichumumpo is one of the tenets of Buddhism, and “iyoi” embodies the belief that “what you think, you become.” The American patchwork pattern shown here is inspired by the stained glass windows of Catholic churches, and the quilt pattern itself is aptly named “Cathedral Window.”

Iyoichumunpo

Colorful flowers embellish this lovely bojagi.

When light shines through the iyoichumunpo, even the finished seam allowances are evidently a carefully considered part of the design.
