Dear Team Norigae -

I feel like I am not seeing the whole of your changes here, as it doesn't line up with your final presentation slide show. That being said it is well written and organized. It is lacking citations, however. My predictions for what would happen to these changes if published as they are:

• It would be marked as lacking citations
• It would be questioned on the talk page and perhaps removed because of lack of citations

The Composition of Norigae

Norigae is composed by three basic parts: the main ornament, elaborate knots, the tassel on the lowest part.  Norigae can be categorize to sizes, large, medium and small according to the person who wears the norigae or places at. Like the norigae for infant will be much smaller one than adult's. In Joseon Dynasty, the king, Yeonsangun used the luxuriousness and sizes of norigae to classify the social rank of his women.

Main Ornament

The main ornament for making norigae is usually using gold, silver, jewels, and precious stone.

The motifs of main ornament are cut down into 5 basic branches, such as animal, plants, daily objects, characters, and religious symbols. For example, the characters is auspicious Chinese character, like "壽" represents longevity. The religious symbols are motifs that represents Buddhism.

Knots

Korean Knotting (maedeup) uses colored cord to braid into various shapes. The type of knot has to follow the design of main ornament. The big size of the main ornament parts will combine with small knots. The small main ornament comes along with large knots. The types of knots have to match the whole weight of the norigae is going to be.

Tassel

Tassel (sul) is using silk thread with colored and place at the lower parts.

Ttidon or a clasp means a metal hook in norigae. The purpose is to attach the norigae together and be able to hang on the clothes. There are a variety of shapes for ttidon, includes butterfly shape and typical circular shape or squared shape.
