Descrição do livro

Every knot has a name. Every name carries meaning. Every meaning has a history.

Maedeup: Korean Decorative Knotting — Beginner's Guide is a comprehensive introduction to one of Korea's most treasured textile traditions — an art form designated as National Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 22, practiced for more than two thousand years in royal courts, Buddhist temples, and the intimate workrooms of the Korean home.

This richly illustrated guide teaches twelve foundational and floral maedeup knots through clear step-by-step instructions, cultural history, symbolic meaning, and modern applications — giving you both the how and the why of each knot.

Part 1 — Basic Korean Maedeup covers seven essential knots:

  • Dorae (도래) — the Double Connection Knot; foundational and versatile
  • Hapjang (합장) — the Prayer Knot; a meditative beginning
  • Yeonbong (연봉) — the Lotus Peak Knot; used as a button and pendant
  • Garakji (가락지) — the Ring Knot; symbolizing eternity and commitment
  • Nalgae (날개) — the Wing Knot; freedom, longevity, and balance
  • Pyeong (평) — the Square Knot and its spiral variation
  • Saengjjok (생쪽) — the Ginger Sprout Knot; a gateway to advanced forms

Part 2 — Floral Motifs in Traditional Maedeup teaches five naturalistic forms:

  • Dangcho (당초) — the Arabesque Vine Knot
  • Mogwa-kkot (모과꽃) — the Flowering Quince Knot
  • Maehwa (매화) — the Plum Blossom Knot, in three variations
  • Gukhwa (국화) — the Chrysanthemum Knot
  • Hwaman (화만) — the Buddhist Floral Wreath Knot

Each chapter includes the knot's history and cultural symbolism, materials and cord specifications, illustrated step-by-step tying instructions, pro tips for clean results, and a photo gallery of traditional and contemporary applications — from norigae pendants and hanbok closures to modern jewelry, bracelets, and wearable art.

Who this book is for: Complete beginners who have never tied a maedeup knot; makers with macramé experience looking to explore Korean knotting traditions; jewelry designers, fiber artists, and textile enthusiasts; anyone drawn to Korean culture, heritage craft, and the meditative art of handwork.

This is Book 1 of the Maedeup series. Each knot you learn here opens the door to the next.
