Ⅰ. Characteristics
Traditional Metal Craft Technique: ‘Eunipsa’
_
Eunipsa(Silver Inlay) is a traditional metal craft technique
that has been passed down since the Three Kingdoms period.
During the Three Kingdoms and Goryeo periods,
a technique called 'Ggiumipsa' was prevalent,
which involved carving grooves on a metal plate and inserting metal wires into them.

_
The technique known today as 'eunipsa' refers to the development of 'Jjoeumipsa'
during the mid-Joseon dynasty.
In this method, the metal plate is first carved with grooves in four directions:
horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines, creating a grid-like pattern.
Then, delicate metal wires made of gold, silver, or copper, which have a malleable nature,
are inserted into these grooves to create a pictorial expression,
decorating the surface of the object.
Traditionally, this technique is referred to as 'eunsilbakyi,' denoting the process of inlaying silver.
Silver inlay decoration can be commonly observed on artifacts
such as incense burners, censers, tobacco cases, and door locks.
_
According to historical records,
during the Joseon dynasty, there existed a governmental agency called the "Gyeonggongjang,"
which was responsible for overseeing and perpetuating craftsmanship skills,
as well as producing necessary artworks for the state.
Among the craftsmen within this agency,
there were skilled craftsmen known as "Ipsa-jang,"
who specialized in the art of inlay.
They were tasked with creating inlaid objects that were required within the palace.
