Korean Intangible Cultural Heritage
Korean Intangible Cultural Heritage refers to the traditions, practices, and expressions that are vital to the cultural identity of Korea. This includes various forms of performing arts, traditional crafts, and rituals that have been passed down through generations. Examples include Pansori, a form of musical storytelling, and Kimjang, the communal preparation of kimchi.
The preservation of these cultural elements is essential for maintaining the rich history and diversity of Korean culture. Many of these practices are recognized by organizations like UNESCO, which aims to safeguard and promote intangible heritage worldwide.
