Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The first of its kind to appear in English, this spectacular, detailed volume in full color celebrating the richness and variety of traditional Korean garments, ornaments and footwear dating back to the Joseon Dynasty will be widely welcomed. It contains over 600 drawings and 200 plates, with detailed commentaries and specific measurements, as well as method of production. Based on the early research of Yu Huigyeong at Ewha Women's University, Seoul, in the mid-1950s (where the collection is housed), it was subsequently developed by Lee Gyeongja and Jang Sukhwan, and then more recently by a third generation of students - Hong Nayeong and Lee Mi-ryang. The volume will be of particular interest to students of historical fashion, but will also have relevance in the contexts of Korean social history, anthropology and within East Asian studies generally.
