With a personal touch that can only come from one who truly loves Korea and the majestic history of Korean clothing, Sunny Yang has written a comprehensive hook about Korean Hanbok. For people from all corners of the world to enjoy, the descriptions of Korean clothing are rich in detail yet personalizedwith Sunny Yangâ? ? s own experiences and opinions of Korean clothing. * HANBOK-The Art of Korean Clothing? ? takes the reader on a journey from the simple hemp costume worn in the Neolithic Age, to the complex costumes of Yi Dynasty Royalty and the new creations of the twentieth century. It draws the reader into a world known to few westerners, yet vivid in its detail of ancient custom and craftmanship. Extensive interviews and research by Sunny Yang unveils the intracacies involved in creating Hanbok and it s accessories. Furthermore, not only what was worn, but why and when certain ceremonial and symbolic articles of clothing were worn, help to paint the full picture of Korean traditional life. For example, one of the reasons that Korea was known to western visitors as? ? the land of the white people? ? is that they were required to wear white clothes for three years after the death of royalty. Also explained are the regulations which prevented commoners from ever wearing bright colors and displaying various auspicious symbols, which were the unique property of royalty and the upper class. Details of how each member of society dressed, as well as how upper class women were segregated from men during the Yi Dynasty and made to cover their faces are also revealed. What ensues is not only a well documented history of clothing in Korea, but a portrait of Korean history itself, and the traditions and culture of the Korean people that are to fascinate, entertain, and educate. 212 pages.
