content: "Late 19th century. Green silk with cotton lining. Originally, cuffs of this type were worn only by Inen, but eventually women also used them in winter. Silk or cotton cuffs are lined, and the preferred colors are white, gray, light brown and black. Woven wisteria or bamboo cuffs are for summer. They keep the sleeve ends away from perspiration (Kim, 1988b: 496). The pair Bernadou collected is green silk. Hough points out the excellent needlework. Bernadou Field Notes 100 "... These entered beyond the sleeves of the to-pou [dopo] or outer garment. Are simply slipped over the wrists." Collected in Seoul.
