Abstract

The Geumran-gasa (Kasaya) and Jangsam of the monk Samyeong are historical relics and were designated as object No.29, a Buddhist costume of the Joseon Dynasty, by the National Folklore Cultural Heritage, in 1973. In 1984, after being treated for the purposes of washing and preserving the shape of the garments, the object was kept in the Temple Museum of Pyochungsa, as their holding institution. However, regular inspection conducted by the Cultural Heritage Administration in 2013 determined the need for a re-treatment. The Geumran-gasa had been originally made with 25 strips, but it had been separated into two parts and many pieces were lost. A part of the collar in the Jangsam was lost as well. Therefore, both relics needed to be restored. The re-treatment process involved pre-investigation, washing, reinforcement fabric dyeing, restoration, and fumigation. In particular, we focused on reinforcing the damaged parts and restoring the missing parts by applying advanced materials and methods in order to restore the original form as much as possible. This conservation is the result of the re-treatment of the cultural properties by replacing the old material used in past treatments and applying advanced methods under the basic principle of reversibility in conservation treatment.

사명대사의 금란가사와 장삼은 역사적 인물의 유품이자 조선시대 불교 복식으로 1973년에 국가민속문화재 제29호로 지정되었다. 1984년 세척과 형태 유지를 위한 보존처리를 거쳐 표충사호국박물관에 보관되다가, 2013년 문화재청에서 실시한 정기조사 결과 재처리 필요성이 제기되었다. 금란가사는 본래 25조인데 두 조각으로 분리된 상태로 결실된 부분이 많고, 장삼 또한 깃의 일부가 남아있지 않아 원형 복원이 필요했다. 재처리 과정은 처리 전 조사, 세척, 보강직물 염색, 보강 및 복원, 훈증소독의 과정으로 진행되었다. 특히 새로운 보존처리 재료와 방법을 적용하여 손상되거나 결실된 부분을 보강, 복원하여 원형을 최대한 회복시키고자 하였다. 이번 보존처리는 보존처리의 가역성이라는 기본 원칙 하에 노후화된 보강 재료를 교체하고 발전된 방법을 적용한 직물 문화재의 재처리 사례에 대한 연구결과이다.
