Abstract
The purpose of this study is to present a comprehensive illustration of Heuk-Danryeung worn by Joseon’s high naval officers serving during the period of Japanese invasion of Korea. The study reviewed ten portraits of meritorious vassals painted in the early 17th century and three Heuk-Danryeung artifacts in an attempt to identify the stylistic features of Heuk-Danryeung, Hyungbae, Pumdae, Samo, and Heukwha worn by naval officers. Heuk-Danryeung typically featured front and rear hems of similar length, bean pod-shaped sleeves, and swept-back Mu. Heuk-Danryeung was often made using Unmundan and Unbomundan fabrics that were lapis lazuli and dark green in color. These features are well represented in the Danryeung of Shin Gyeong-yu, which this research suggests is the best formal example of Heuk-Danryeung. Regarding Hyungbae, this research adopts the image of Ho Hyungbae that is illustrated in the vassal portrait of Park Yu-myeong. Regarding Pumdae, this research uses the Sapgeumdae and Sapeundae reflected in the portrait of Jeong Chung-shin. Lastly, the image of Samo that was adopted is illustrated in the portrait of Yi Woon-ryong. When illustrating Heuk-Danryeung, the study applied Woonbomun onto Yangkak of Samo. This study utilized the expression of Heukwha shown by 〈Pungkong Yubo Doryak〉 and Jangtonghwa of the Chinese Ming Dynasty. The illustration of Heuk-Danryeung presented by this study can provide a foundation for future research whose ultimate goal is to illustrate a standardized portrait and vassal image of Admiral Yi-Sun-shin wearing Heuk-Danryeung.
