In classical writings, the cicada is described as a creature sustained only by clear morning dew, living high among branches far from worldly dust. It has therefore come to symbolise purity, sincerity, and a noble sense of detachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHidden underground for years before emerging into the sunlight, the cicada also carries associations of renewal, happiness, and youthful transformation. Within the Confucian tradition, it is admired for the Five Virtues: refinement, purity, integrity, frugality, and trustworthiness—qualities quietly expressed in the symmetry and poise of the stitched wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow the embroidered body, ten flowing silk tassels cascade in gentle gradations of red, green, blue, and gold. Their movement introduces a subtle rhythm, creating a soft interplay between colour and shadow. Each strand is meticulously wrapped and weighted, allowing the tassels to fall with calm precision—neither too formal nor too decorative, but with a balanced presence that feels timeless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe norigae has long held a special role in Korean attire, adorning the garments of women from court to countryside. Beyond personal ornament, it served as a charm of blessing—its colours, motifs, and knots chosen to invite good fortune, longevity, and quiet joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, displayed on a wooden lattice frame or hung from a rustic ‘Koddure‘—a traditional wooden cattle nose-ring once thought to ward off misfortune and guard the household’s fortune—the piece gains a quiet, almost playful layer of meaning. The contrast between silk threads and natural wood creates a gentle harmony, making the norigae feel at once traditional and contemporary, intimate yet refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether placed in a hallway, reading corner, or softly lit interior, this norigae becomes more than a decorative accent. It offers a moment of stillness, a whisper of heritage, and a small but enduring gesture of good wishes—an emblem of clarity, renewal, and quiet elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight- 32cm (12.6 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated Links\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/collections\/norigaes\" title=\"Norigae collection in artinko.com\"\u003eNorigae Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/blogs\/korean-culture\/about-norigae\" title=\"About norigae in artinko.com\"\u003eAbout Norigae\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/collections\/wall-decoration\" title=\"Collection of wall decor in artinko.com\"\u003eCollection for Wall Decor\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Norigaes","offers":[{"title":"Norigae Only","offer_id":51552649740519,"sku":null,"price":91.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Norigae with Koddure","offer_id":51552649773287,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Norigae with Frame","offer_id":51552649806055,"sku":null,"price":114.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/0100\/1191\/files\/IMG-4363.jpg?v=1763502610","url":"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/fr-gb\/products\/silk-norigae-embroidered-cicada-with-ten-tassels","provider":"ArtinKo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
