The late Kim Gye-soon, the holder, has contributed much to the development of our Embroidery today as a first-generation and old-timer of the modern Embroidery industry in Korea.

He has been a self-made man for the past 50 to 60 years and has focused more on nurturing younger students and studying Embroidery than on his own.

In particular, as it was prevalent in the royal court and was practiced in the women's diadem, there were not many literature materials, so it contributed a lot to the development of Embroidery by analyzing and researching old works and devoting them to the design and reproduction of works.

Since 1973, Kim Sun-deok has maintained the tradition of traditional Embroidery culture in Gangneung and faithfully inherited the basic methods of traditional Embroidery.

It is recognized as the holder of Gangneung's traditional Embroidery techniques, such as producing traditional Embroidery using Pundsa, Banpunsa, and Konsa, and restoring various original materials of traditional Embroidery.

Nubi is a method of sewing in order to put cotton, fur or mulberry paper between the outer fabric and the lining of cloth, or of broad stitching without putting anything between the outer fabric and lining to strengthen the cloth or to make it warmer. Nubijang refers to this skill or to an artisan with such a skill. The method became a common practice following the introduction of cotton growing. Some monks wore the same robe for tens of years, repairing it with this method. Nubi techniques developed to a point where even ordinary people came to adopt them.
Among the things needed for the work of nubi are thread that matches as closely as possible that used on the clothes or bedding, needles, scissors, a heating iron, a push stick, a measuring stick, and a thimble. Regular straight lines are chiefly used for the nubi work on clothes or bedding, but a mixture of straight and curved lines are also used to make a pattern when working on wrapping cloth or pouches.
The country’s traditional manual nubi sewing is said to be an artwork similar to Embroidery, but it is gradually disappearing, as the work takes time and does not bring much economic benefit.

On October 3, 1974, the Korean Folk Village opened in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do.

Located at 90 Folk Village Road, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, the Korean Folk Village is a comprehensive tourist destination with the theme of traditional culture built to preserve and transfer our folk culture and to use it as a tourist resource and field-training educational facility.

The Korean Folk Village reproduces the customs and lifestyle of the late Joseon Dynasty by combining houses of 99 kan yangban houses, intangible cultural assets such as pungmul nori, tightrope walking, and folk crafts such as bamboo work, Embroidery, and knots.
