It compensates for the shortcomings of existing stone and chemical pigments to create a deeper and richer color.


Our traditions Dancheong's character is not only revealed by the splendor of the pattern, but its uniqueness begins with the materials used. If you use Bukchon Dancheong pigment, you can also complete our beautiful and vivid Dancheong.

Learn more about the all-in-one kit


mono pigment kit

It is an inorganic pigment made from stone powder in the traditional way rather than poster paint.

We directly develop high-quality pigments that do not lose color even when exposed to sunlight for a long time, and even distribute them in an appropriate amount. Since the traditional monochrome color is expressed as it is, there is no need to mix multiple colors.



Dancheong pattern

A pattern carefully drawn by a cultural property repair engineer can be clearly engraved through laser processing and colored on it. You'll learn how to color in a traditional way according to Dancheong's rules, and learn how to make bag hangers and wall hangings using colored patterns.


An unfamiliar Dancheong tool, how do you use it?

It's not just about coloring.

I make a hole with a candle needle, draw a sketch with typom, and then color it.

I use a bat set when drawing a round plum shop or a democratic store.



Able to improve quality

We will introduce additional components.


1. Dancheong pigment, 12 types, small (small) size

In addition to the all-in-one kit, you can also purchase additional coasters and pigments needed to color moonshine. It consists of a smaller amount than the pigments in the all-in-one kit, and includes a thinner, binder, a stopper, and a trial brush.


2. 1 set of 2 coaster patterns

We will give you all 2 of the most popular patterns at Bukchon Kobo.

Charity money and annual lanterns not included in the all-in-one kit are laser sketched on plywood. How about gifting a friend with a coaster you've painted yourself?


3. Monthly hanging set

This wall-hanging set consists of 3 coin patterns and knots. It's beautiful to hang just one set of wall-hangings, but if you hang multiple sets of colorful wall-hangings, the space looks even nicer.

📌 Knot colors will be sent randomly.



4. Gold pigment 100g

Gold pigment is not originally a traditional monochrome color. It is a color developed in modern times to be more colorful. Traditional pigments are organic, but gold pigments are made from inorganic materials. Comes with 100 grams of gold pigment and 100 grams of binder.
