Description
This is the Korean mourning hat. When a man's father or mother dies, it is believed that the death was due to some great wrong that the man has done. This large hat is worn so that heaven will not have to look upon his guilty face. This hat and sackcloth is worn by the man for a full year. This man is carrying a pipe in his right hand.
