Sambe ({{langx|ko|삼베}}), or hemp fiber, is a traditional fiber for Korean clothing. An increasingly rare practice, it has been made a national treasure, and specific individuals with the ability were designated intangible cultural assets.{{sfn|Cho|2007}} Sambe was the primary textile fiber used in clothing for commoners/sangmin prior to the introduction of cotton to Korea in the late 15th century.{{sfn|Yi|2008|p=55}} A particularly fine variety is andongpo from Andong, North Gyeongsang Province.{{sfn|Yi|2008|p=55}}{{sfn|Clarke|2006|p=54}}{{sfn|Chung|2015}}
A Korean traditional funeral includes a sambe death dress for the deceased and sambe clothing for mourners.{{sfn|Kendall|Dix|1987|pp=80-82}} After commercial relations between China and Korea resumed in 1990, Chinese-made hemp cloth began to replace Korean cloth.{{sfn|Koh|2007}}
