A Jangot (장옷) is a type of clothing worn by women of the Joseon Dynasty period as a veil to cover their faces. [1] Jangot is similar to durumagi, or the outer jacket of a hanbok. [1] The difference is a jangot has a collar (git) and a ribbon for tying (goreum). [1] According to the principles of the Joseon Dynasty's Confucianism, women were ordered not to show their face to foreign men, so they would cover their faces in many ways while going out. [1]
A veil is an article of clothing or hanging cloth that is intended to cover some part of the head or face, or an object of some significance. Veiling has a long history in European, Asian, and African societies. The practice has been prominent in different forms in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The practice of veiling is especially associated with women and sacred objects, though in some cultures it is men rather than women who are expected to wear a veil. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in some modern secular contexts, such as wedding customs.
