Hansan Mosi (Korean: 한산모시), a fine Ramie (Mosi in Korean) weaved fabric made in Hansan area of Seocheon County in South Chungcheong Province, is one of Korean traditional textiles.[1] It is used to produce different types of clothing and due to its light weight, they are mostly worn in hot weather.[2]
Hansan mosi –its weaving and all the processes related to it– is inscribed in UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List since 2011[3] and enlisted as South Korean Intangible Cultural Property since 1967.
