Description

K-Heritage Embroidered Bookmark: Secret Royal Inspector ‘Amhaeng-eosa Chuldduyo!’

Discover the charm of traditional Korea with our exquisite K-Heritage Embroidered Bookmark. Inspired by the historical ‘Suhaenggi’ (Records of Activities) distributed by the National Cultural Heritage Agency, the ‘Amhaeng-eosa Chuldduyo!’ bookmark brings to life the legendary Secret Royal Inspectors. Each bookmark is meticulously crafted, drawing inspiration from the essential items bestowed upon these covert officials during their crucial missions.

It carries warm wishes for promotion, success, and achievement to all who embark on their own journeys through the pages of a book.

Unraveling the Bookmark Story

Deep within the pages of history, Sosan-i, a character sprung from the ‘mapa’ (royal horse medallion) and tasked with secret inspections, one day stumbled upon a new decree for a secret royal inspector. Engraved within the ‘Suhaenggi’ exhibited at the National Museum of Korea, Sosan-i discovered a drawing that remarkably resembled himself!

“To become a true inspector, listen carefully to the voices of the world.”

Inspired by these profound words, Sosan-i underwent a transformation. No longer just a royal guard, he embraced his destiny as a secret royal inspector, embarking on an extraordinary adventure to right the wrongs of the world. This bookmark encapsulates that spirit of justice, dedication, and the pursuit of truth.

  • Historical Significance: The original ‘Suhaenggi’ is a treasure-grade cultural heritage item connected to a Gyeonggi Province secret royal inspector.
  • Bookmark Details: The bookmark designs vividly portray elements extracted directly from the ‘Suhaenggi’, including the inspector himself (‘Eosa’), one ‘Mapa’ (royal horse medallion), and three ‘Yucheok’ (brass rulers).

  1. 美咲 – Fukuoka, Japan –

    このしおりはいい感じです。本のページに綺麗に挟まります。デザインが伝統的で嬉しいけど、少し小さめでした。

  2. Isabela – Lisbon, Portugal –

    Eu comprei o marcador e achei que ele é bem bonito. O bordado é detalhado e diferente, mas não muito grande. A entrega levou um pouco mais do que eu esperava, uns dias extras. É ótimo para quem gosta de coisas culturais.

  3. فاطمة – Riyadh, Saudi Arabia –

    المؤشر مميز، أحب التصاميم المطرزة. أستخدمه دائمًا لكتبي المفضلة. لاحظت أنه أصغر من المتوقع لكن العمل بشكل جيد.
