It is a helpful book for costume reference.
This is a useful resource book.
Since there are books released every year, I tend to be selective when purchasing for my collection; although the price is a bit high, I am satisfied.
Understanding Joseon Costumes Through Pictures
Hanbok, with its colors close to nature, fabrics that feel intimate against the skin, and postures embodying our unique elegance, offers a sense of enchantment simply by looking at its natural beauty and grace. The lines created by the fluid curves found in the collar of the jeogori and the cuffs are distinctive, while the expansive spaces of the skirt and jeogori—free of traces of intricate decoration or patterns—possess a beauty that evokes a sense of spaciousness through the empty spaces.
Lee Kyung-ja et al.: Traditional clothing and accessories
The history of our clothing and accessories holds a unique significance. This is because the basic styles established in ancient times have remained unchanged for thousands of years. Our attire not only incorporated necessary elements from foreign cultures to suit our lifestyle but also embodied a unique aesthetic of dignity and modesty. How, then, did our ancestors create, wear, and use these clothes and accessories? *Our Clothing and Accessories* is a book born from a scholarly bond spanning three generations of master and disciple, spanning nearly fifty years, to answer these questions. It systematically and multifacetedly presents the archetypes and actual forms of our clothing, as well as the beauty inherent within them. Accurate measurements, drafting, and drawings of artifacts serve as the foundation of this book. Photographs captured to convey the actual form and texture of the garments are accompanied by written records and explanations crafted with keen observation and insight for each visual element. Various approaches to understanding our traditional clothing—including illustrations, photographs, and text—are organically interconnected within this book, enabling even those who have never seen ancient artifacts in person to grasp not only their form, size, characteristics, craftsmanship, and function, but also their cultural history. Thus, the significance of this book lies in widely promoting the beauty of our traditional attire and in accurately and completely recording and preserving it as a precious cultural heritage.
