Kkachi durumagi is a children's colorful overcoat in hanbok, traditional Korean clothing, which was worn on Seollal, New Year's Day in the Lunar calendar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】script-title=ko:까치두루마기 )〕 It was worn mostly by young boys〔http://www.encyber.com/search_w/ctdetail.php?33064&contentno=33064〕 and literally means "a magpie's overcoat". The clothes is also called ''obangjang durumagi'' which denotes "an overcoat of five directions". It was worn over ''jeogori'' (a jacket) and ''jokki'' (a vest) while the wearer could put ''jeonbok'' (a long vest) over it. ''Kkachi durumagi'' was also worn along with headgear such as ''bokgeon'' (a peaked cloth hat〔(The Groom's Wedding Attire ) ACADEMIA KOREANA of Keimyung University〕〔(What are the traditional national clothes of Korea? )〕), ''hogeon'' (peaked cloth hat with a tiger pattern) for young boys or ''gulle'' (decorative headgear) for young girls. ==Etymology and color== The name is composed of the two words in Korean; ''kkachi'' referring to Korean magpie〔 and ''durumagi'', a type of overcoat.〔 In Korean mythology, magpies are regarded as auspicious messenger delivering good news but also a provider of prosperity and development.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Daejeon City )〕 The date before ''Seollal'' has been referred to as "Kkachi Seollal" (kkachi's New Year's Day). The overcoat was named after the bird to reflect the folk belief because children longed for the cheerful holiday's coming.〔 ''Kkachi durumagi'' is also called ''obangjang durumagi'' because it is composed of five colors, representing five different directions (''obang'') – east (blue), west (white), south (red), north (black), center (yellow). The concept is based on Oriental philosophy.〔 ''Seop'' (섶), the overlapped column of the garment in the center is made of a yellow fabric while ''gil'' (길), the large section of the garment in both front and back side is made of a fabric in yellowish green. For boys, blue color is used for the portions called ''git'' (깃, a band of fabric that trims the collar), ''goreum'' (고름, strings at chest), ''doltti'' (돌띠, embroidered belt)〔http://100.nate.com/dicsearch/pimage.html?i=241790005&en=&pg=search&v=46〕 respectively and purple is used for ''mu'' (무, gusset). On the other hand, ''kkachi durumagi'' for girls has red or purple colored ''git'', ''goreum'' and ''doltti'' and dark blue ''mu''. The sleeves are made of two sheets of fabrics. The outer surface is made of a yellowish green fabric or ''saekdong'' (colorful stripes) fabric whereas the inner is rose pink in color.〔 In old days, ''kkachi durumagi'' were worn as ''seolbim'' (설빔), new clothing and shoes prepared for Seollal, while at present, it is used as a ''dorot'', a ceremonial garment for ''doljanchi'', celebration for a baby's first birthday.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kkachi durumagi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
