Korea’s kimchi, a range of seasoned vegetable dishes, and kimjang, the making and sharing of kimchi, have both recently received much international recognition as UNESCO has inscribed kimchi and kimjang onto its list of intangible cultural heritage items. UNESCO made the final decision at its Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, held from Dec. 2 to 7 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
“Kimjang allows Koreans to practise the spirit of sharing among neighbours, while promoting solidarity and providing them a sense of identity and belonging; Inscription of Kimjang could contribute to the visibility of intangible cultural heritage by enhancing dialogue among different communities nationally and internationally that practise foodways that similarly make creative use of natural resources,” said the committee in regard to its decision to add kimchi and kimjang to the list. Thanks to the decision, Korea now has a total of 16 items on UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage items, including taekkyeon, a traditional martial art, and the weaving of mosi, or ramie, a fine hemp-like fiber from the Hansan region.
