History & tradition
Traditional; Joseon
The encyclopedia describes it on the curved sleeve seam (배래) of the summer jacket 적삼: stitched, trimmed and turned so the raw edge sits inside. 통솔 is the common modern name for this French-type seam.
The encyclopedia lists only 뒤웅솔; equating it with 통솔 follows craft usage.
