Original Korean War Era South Korean Taegukgi Rayon Faux Silk Flag - 20" x 26"
-
Original Item: Only One Available. The flag of South Korea, also known as the Taegukgi (Korean: 태극기 or 'Taegeuk flag'), has three parts: a white rectangular background, a red and blue Taegeuk in its center, and four black trigrams one toward each corner. Flags similar to the current Taegeukgi were used as the national flag of Korea by the Joseon dynasty, the Korean Empire, and the Korean government-in-exile during Japanese rule. South Korea adopted the Taegukgi as its national flag when it gained independence from Japan on 15 August 1948.
This example of the Taegukgi is quite attractive. It is constructed of a rayon faux silk like material, which is a bit stiff in areas, but still flexible and soft. It features a printed / dyed insignia, with the colors well retained, showing just a bit of fading. There are corner ties installed on two corners, however it looks like they may have been added later, and are not on the correct side for proper hanging orientation. The perimeter of the flag has a row of stitching, which is pulling out in areas.
A lovely lightly used example ready for further research and display.
