Painting of Tang Xianzu with Fujin
Fujin (Chinese: 幅巾) is a type of guanmao (冠帽), a male traditional headgear made from a black fabric in China and Korea.
It was usually worn with Shenyi in the Ming Dynasty. Later, Joseon adopt this headwear and called it bokgeon (Hangul: 복건). Though it was initially worn only during important events, it was worn by most men of high-standing by the Joseon period. Members of the scholar-official class decorated their fujin with gold leaf.[1]
