Bokgeon is a type of "gwanmo" (관모), Korean traditional headgear made from a black fabric. Although it had been worn by a few Confucian scholars until the late Joseon period, it later became a decorative headgear for baby boys' "dol" which is a way of celebrating the birthday of a one-year-old baby. cite web|url=http://100.empas.com/dicsearch/pentry.html?s=K&i=242338&v=46 |title=복건 (幅巾) |publisher=Empas / EncyKorea |accessdate=2008-09-21 |language=Korean] cite web|url=http://map.encyber.com/search_w/ctdetail.php?masterno=759213&contentno=759213 |title=복건 (幅巾) |publisher=Doosan Encyclopedia |accessdate=2008-09-21 |language=Korean]
