Transcending time with brilliance, Surpassing space with nobility.

“A noble palace embroidery that embodies the queen's noble wish for the health, longevity, and prosperity of the royal family.”

Imperial Youth State Honors Speciality Set was created in collaboration with Master Choi Yu-hyun,
the holder of Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 80, Embroidery.
This artwork was inspired by the Ojoryong pattern,
which is traditionally used to decorate the clothing of kings and queens.
It features the Ojoryong dragon motif and the Ten Longevity symbol, representing longevity and prosperity, created using gold thread.

The masterful work of an embroidery artisan who restored the Ojoryong wonbo, depicting the king's powerful dragon boat and the queen's phoenix boat, embellished with exquisite embroidery. Inspired by an eobo ship, these two vessels are crafted to showcase the pinnacle of opulence adorned with golden thread embroidery.
The symbol of immortality that can only rival the dragon, adorned with the majestic phoenix decoration.
The exquisite craftsmanship of delicately intertwining layers of precious golden thread, meticulously embroidered through countless stitches, represents the epitome of dedication in royal court embroidery.

The 2022 Imperial Youth State Honors Speciality Set symbolizes the highest honor of the royal family, showcasing the esteemed value with the depiction of a dragon embroidered in regal court embroidery.
