우연히 나전칠기에 대해 관심을 갖게 되었습니다. 인터넷에 돌아다니는 정보만으로는 조금 부족한감이 국보이야기(ww.kookbo.com)라는 사이트를 운영하시는 유수근 실장님(명인 선생님의 조카라고 하십니다)께 메일을 보내 문의한 결과 보다 더 많은 정보를 알게 되었습니다.
螺鈿漆器라 함은 잘 건조되고 눈매가 고운 목재(고사목)를 이용하여 물건의 모양을 제작한 뒤(일명 백골이라고도 함) 여기에 헝겊과 여러가지 材料를 첨가한 뒤 옻칠을 한 뒤에 전복, 소라, 진주, 조개 등의 자개를 갈고 세공하여 수놓은 제품을 통털어서 螺鈿漆器라 합니다. 하나의 완전한 제품이 완성되기까지는 3~6개월의 기간이 소요됩니다.
한국의 螺鈿漆器의 起源을 살펴보면 樂浪時代로 거슬러 올라가는데 古證과 遺物에 의하면 7~10世紀의 統一新羅時代에 螺鈿漆器가 성행하기 시작하였으며, 11世紀나 高麗文宗때
조정에서 螺鈿漆器 제품들을 제작할 수 있게 工房制度를 두어 운영하였고 이곳에서 제작되는 螺鈿漆器들은 외국의 사신들이나 왕에게 선물로 보내졌다고합니다. 오늘날 일본, 독일,
미국, 영국, 화란 등지의 박물관에 소중히 소장되고 있는 것들은 그 당시의 선물로 보내졌던 것으로 한국을 대표할 수 있는 螺鈿漆器工藝品이라 할 것입니다.
螺鈿漆器에 사용하고 있는 옻칠은 그 强度가 漆중에서 가장 강한 것이며, 그 壽命 또한 永久不變일것입니다. 光澤은 온화하면서도 유유하고 은은히 빛나는 영롱한 색상입니다.
Najeon Chilgi, the wooden lacquerware inlaid with Mother-of-Pearl, is truly a cultural asset of Korea. The art of Najeon Chilgi is used to make items from jewelry boxes to chests, dressers and desks.
The two main materials used in making Najeon Chilgi are the lacquer coating and mother-of-pearl. Korean mother-of-pearl made from the shining, unchangeable beauty of pearl oyster or abalone, is considered to be the jewel of the Orient.
Traditional technique is a complicated and painstaking process consisting of more than twenty steps. The manufacturing can be roughly divided into several processes; pasting hemp cloth on the surface of the wooden frame; coating the surface with natural lacquer; spraying powdered ox bone on the surface;
inlaying the patterned mother-of-pearl on the pitch black background; and then repetition of lacquering and polishing. It takes 3~6 months to complete a product.
The art of Najeon Chilgi dates back to the Nakrang period.
According to research, Najeon Chilgi already prevailed in the period of Shilla(7~10AD). Then the government operated a workshop system to make Najeon Chilgi products in the reign of King Munjong in Koryo(11AD). The Najeon Chilgi made there were presented to foreign Kings and envoys. Art pieces of Najeon Chilgi are kept in museums of Japan, Germany, U.S.A, England, Netherlands and many other countries all over the world. The varnishing with lacquer is the strongest among varnishes, which makes life of these pieces permanent.
