About
When people commonly think of Islam, they often associate it with the Middle East and Arab culture. However, the majority of Muslims are actually distributed all across Asia.
The Asia Culture Museum, which continues to conduct ongoing research on Asian cultures, introduces the hijab, the most iconic attire in Muslim clothing culture.
The hijab, which is worn by Muslim women to cover their hair, is known by various names such as chador, niqab, and burqa, each with different forms.
We hope that this exhibition serves as an opportunity for understanding the cultural significance of the hijab and the values and perspectives of people who live with different beliefs, allowing us to view them with an open mind.
Program
Due to the harsh environment of the Arabian Peninsula, the birthplace of Islam, a culture of clothing developed to protect oneself from the scorching sun. The regional custom of hijab, which was prevalent in the area, underwent religious reinterpretation as Islam was institutionalized and the wearing of hijab was mentioned in the Quran. The hijab is classified into different types such as chador, niqab, and burqa, based on factors like the degree of facial exposure, the length of the fabric, and accompanying clothing.
