Abstract

To express the wish for longevity, children have prayed for a healthy and happy life, as if engraving the word "Soo(壽) " on a belt or headdress since ancient times. A textile pattern for infants was developed based on the formative composition and symbolic meaning of the Baeksubaekbokdo(百壽百福圖). Through its development, theoretical and empirical studies were carried out in parallel to increase its value as a material that can help children aspire to health and happiness, as well as a prototype of traditional culture, and to identify the possibility of modern application. As a theoretical study, the concept of Baeksubaekbokdo, the formative composition and symbolic meaning of icons, and the colors preferred by infants were examined, focusing on literature, previous studies, and Internet resources. As an empirical study, an empirical analysis was conducted focusing on two folding screens of Baeksubaekbokdo, which are extant and readable relics stored in the National Folklore Museum, two folding screens of Baeksubaekbokdo, which are included in the catalog of the Gahoe Museum, and two pieces of Baeksubaekbokdo, which the Hengso Museum owns. Ten images suitable for the development of textile patterns for infants were extracted. After deriving a motif from the extracted circular image and characterizing it, a textile pattern was developed using tossed and half-drop layouts as design methods. As for the colors, red, blue, green, and yellow were extracted from the prototype of the Baeksbaekbokd, and the colors preferred by children, such as red, yellow, blue, green, and purple, were applied. Finally, we predicted the image when the developed textile pattern was applied to the infants" clothing design by additionally performing mapping by applying the developed textile pattern to the infants’s clothing design. It was derived that the formative composition of an image consisted of a combination of an image and a letter, an image arranged between letters, a letter form consisting of an image, and a form in which characters were engraved on the image. Based on the formative and symbolic meanings of the ten extracted icons, we developed peach, fish, image-engraved combination shapes, bird, turtle, three-legged pot shape, sailing boat, house, plum blossom, and cloud as textile patterns for infants.
