Pungmul Traditional Farmers' Dance Models
Caption / Description:

Models of Dancers performing the Pungmul (풍물) traditional farmers' dance are displayed in the National Folk Museum of Korea (국립민속박물관) in Seoul (서울), South Korea (한국).

Also known as Nongak (농악) or Pungak (풍악), Pungmul involves playing percussion and wind instruments or singing while dancing. It was traditionally performed as part of seasonal farm work, festivals, and religious rites.

Typically Pungmul will involve around 20-30 performers. Some dancers wear hats covered with large paper flowers, called Pungmul kkokkal (풍물 꼬깔), while others wear wide brimmed rounded top hats with a ribbon attached, known as chae sangmo (채상모), or with a tuft of feathers or paper attached, known as bupo sangmo (부포상모). The performers wearing chae sangmo move the ribbon synchronously in intricate patterns using their heads, all the while dancing and playing their small drums in time to the music.
