Chaehwa (彩花) refers to flowers made from silk. Rather than picking flowers, our ancestors crafted flowers from silk, rice cake, and paper to adorn special occasions—this practice reflects the spirit of cherishing nature, which is the root of chaehwa culture. Hohodang presents chaehwa works with each season, continuing this tradition into the present day. For autumn chaehwa, we introduce the aster flower. Also called wild chrysanthemum, it is a familiar wildflower found along field paths. In spring, young shoots are eaten as greens, and flowers bloom from late summer through early autumn. The flower's meaning is longing and waiting, making it a perfect gift to send to distant family or loved ones you miss. Crafted from eco-friendly recycled fabric, the process of discarded plastic being reborn as a single flower aligns with the spirit of chaehwa. Completed using Hohodang's dupioni silk together with gauze fabric that subtly shines through. Designed as a brooch, it can be used as a decorative accent on bojagi wrapping or worn on clothing to be cherished in your daily life for a long time. Price: 7,000 KRW
