Three pollacks cut from large-check gingham cotton, one pink, one red and one blue against white, each with a single black bead for an eye. Every fish carries its own hank of ivory silk thread, twisted into a thick cord, wrapped once around the body and running up to a white ring clasp. The fabric is cut from checked yardage, so the squares meet the seam differently on every fish, and no two are laid out the same way.
The dried pollack bound in silk thread and hung by the door, aengmagi myeongtae (액막이 명태), is still a standard gift at a Korean housewarming or a shop opening: the fish keeps bad luck outside. Each one is soft and light, fifteen and a half centimeters nose to tail and about nineteen counting the loop, so it hangs from a door handle, a hook, a shelf edge or a bag strap. Cotton throughout.
Sold singly too, one colorway at a time. The same fish also comes in two floral prints, Roa and Blair.
Octagonal box, 120mm, made to order
