Jogakbo is a method of patchwork commonly used to make bojagi, Korean wrapping cloths. These bojagi have been generated using the p5.js and p5.riso libraries. The patterns you see are recursive. Recursion in computer science is when a function in code calls itself, used to make things like fractals and mazes. Here, the bojagi squares are divided into sections, then those section are divided in the same way. The division happens again and again until the areas are too small to be divided any further.
