Iksan Gisebae Nori is one of the most popular folk games in North Jeolla Province. Gisebae is a folk game of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which has been handed down since the old Mahan and Baekje periods.
The purpose of this play is to gather together 12 villages in Geumma to pray for a good harvest to the god of farming and to create a sense of cooperation and solidarity among the villages.
The composition of the play consists of a ritual ceremony, a funeral guide, a ritual for Dangsan, a ritual for Gi Se-bae, a ritual for Gi-nori, and a group dance. Since 1995, the Iksan Gi Sebae Preservation Society has been working on the succession and development of this game.
