Abstract

All frieze and wallpaper patterns in Korean tradition are presented with their locations. They can be recognized audibly as well as visually through analyzing symmetries of patterns. Two Korean traditional music instruments play the seven frieze patterns. A piano music is also introduced. Music can be accessed through QR-codes. A cover of umbrella of regular 17-gon is proposed by the 24 patterns.
