A Seal Engraving is called a "small art on the surface of a seal" by writing letters on the surface of the seal and engraving them. This paper will study the independent artistry of the pavilion, and put importance on the development of the Korean Seal Engraving and the protection of the beauty of Hangeul. Therefore, I started to study the formative nature of the Hangeul Seal Engraving.
The development of the Seal Engraving is deeply related to the development of calligraphy history. Along with the development of the history of Korean calligraphy, research on a style of Korean handwriting is needed. There have been many studies on Korean calligraphy, which has been transformed for 500 years since Hunminjeongeum was created.
But the research is very lacking. Hangul calligraphy developed into practical use, and it took a long time to be recognized as an art compared to Chinese calligraphy. And it is much shorter than that the Hangeul Seal Engraving was used in Hangeul calligraphy works.
In 1962, an official seal changed the text on the seal to Hangul and used them. Due to the use of Hangeul by government officials, Hangul was also used a lot for an individual seal. However, at that time, people lacked awareness of a style of Korean handwriting. A lot of bent Hangul, which was popular at that time, was used. It is still used a lot and it must be fixed.
A Seal Engraving is an important element of art from the selection of materials to the entire processes. You should not neglect any of them. As original handwriting such as calligraphy becomes popular, there are many unique handwriting in the Seal Engraving. It must first understand Hangul correctly.
This paper started by feeling the need to preserve the development of the Hangeul Seal Engraving and the individuality of Hangeul. Hangul Seal Engraving should be developed in various artistic ways. To do so, you must also understand the artistic nature of the Seal Engraving.
