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.
