  • Symbolism of Hairstyles in Korea and Japan Research Material
    RESEARCH MATERIAL Na-Young Choi Wonkwang University, South Korea Symbolism of Hairstyles in Korea and Japan Abstract The paper attempts to examine the origins and changes in the hairstyles of Korea and Japan from ancient to early modern times and to compare their features in order to determine what they have in common. The results can be summarized in four points: First, hairstyles were thought to fend off evil influences; second, they were a means to express an ideal of beauty; third, they were an expression of a woman’s marital status; and fourth, they were an expression of social status and wealth. Keywords: hairstyles—symbolism—magical meaning—standard of beauty Asian Folklore Studies, Volume 65, 2006: 69–86 his paper seeks to examine and describe women’s hairstyle changes in Korea and Japan, which belong to the same cultural zone of East Asia, from ancient to early modern times. These countries are in a monsoon zone,T they were originally agricultural societies, and they actively engaged in cultural exchange from earliest times, a factor that is of importance to the fol- lowing discussion. Hairdressing, which varied according to clothing styles, was primarily used to express one’s position, nature, and sensibility rather than to put one’s hair in order. Hairstyles also differed according to the ethnic back- ground, natural features of a person, and beauty standards of a particular peri- od: they revealed one’s nationality, sex, age, occupation, and religion. While previous research on hairstyles in Korea focused on the changes in Korean hairstyles based on historical periods, the hairstyles of Korea and Japan have not been compared to examine their common symbolism, such as the implication of magical meanings, expression of beauty, symbol of marital status, and indication of social position and wealth.

  • The Colonial Origins of Prehistoric Korea
    2 The Colonial Origins of Prehistoric Korea JAPANESE ARCHAEOLOGY AND ETHNOGRAPHY IN THE AGE OF IMPERIALISM (I895-1945) Modern Korean studies date from the late nineteenth century and must be understood in the context of imperialism.1 The signing of the Kanghwa Treaty in 1876 established diplomatic relations between Yi dynasty Chosen and MeijiJapan and opened the port oflnch'en.2 The main clause of Korea's first modern treaty signaled the political independence of the Chosen state from its centuries-old tributary and cultural ties with China. Imperial Ja­ pan's attempt to relegate Korea to a different political role and the ensuing shifts in the traditional East Asian world order resulted in the Protectorate Treaty in 1905 and the official annexation of Korea in 1910. During the J apa­ nese takeover of the Korean peninsula in the late nineteenth century, the newly founded Tokyo University Department of History (1885) produced the first generation of graduates to dedicate their academic careers to mod­ ern Toyo gaku, or East Asian studies (Yoshikawa 1976). Under the tutelage of Shiratori Kurakichi, the founder of East Asian studies in Japan, Ikeuchi Hiroshi, T orii Ryuzo, and Imanishi Ryii represented the new breed of scholars, who were versed not only in classical Chinese historical literature but also in the imported Western disciplines of geography, geology, paleon­ tology, archaeology, art history, physical anthropology, and ethnography. As intellectuals trying to come to grips with the rapidly changing role of 24 THE COLONIAL ORIGINS OF PREHISTORIC KOREA Japan in East Asia, their research naturally turned to the Korean peninsula (H.

  • Archaeology of Asia
    BLACKWELL STUDIES IN GLOBAL ARCHAEOLOGY archaeology of asia Edited by Miriam T. Stark Archaeology of Asia BLACKWELL STUDIES IN GLOBAL ARCHAEOLOGY Series Editors: Lynn Meskell and Rosemary A. Joyce Blackwell Studies in Global Archaeology is a series of contemporary texts, each care- fully designed to meet the needs of archaeology instructors and students seeking volumes that treat key regional and thematic areas of archaeological study. Each volume in the series, compiled by its own editor, includes 12–15 newly commis- sioned articles by top scholars within the volume’s thematic, regional, or temporal area of focus. What sets the Blackwell Studies in Global Archaeology apart from other available texts is that their approach is accessible, yet does not sacrifice theoretical sophistication. The series editors are committed to the idea that usable teaching texts need not lack ambition. To the contrary, the Blackwell Studies in Global Archaeology aim to immerse readers in fundamental archaeological ideas and concepts, but also to illu- minate more advanced concepts, thereby exposing readers to some of the most exciting contemporary developments in the field. Inasmuch, these volumes are designed not only as classic texts, but as guides to the vital and exciting nature of archaeology as a discipline. 1.

  • An Evaluation of the Farming/Language Dispersal Hypothesis in the Korean Context
    Evolutionary Human Sciences (2020), 2, e12, page 1 of 18 doi:10.1017/ehs.2020.13 RESEARCH ARTICLE Millet vs rice: an evaluation of the farming/language dispersal hypothesis in the Korean context Jangsuk Kim1* and Jinho Park2 1Department of Archaeology and Art History, Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea and 2Department of Korean Language and Literature, Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The ‘farming/language dispersal hypothesis’ was originally developed to explain the spread of the Neolithic economy and material culture into Europe. Recently, this hypothesis has been applied towards explaining the dispersal and divergence of East Asian languages. However, interpretations depend on what prehistoric cultivar is chosen by linguists as having been related with the spread of language. In under- standing the appearance of the proto-Koreanic and proto-Japonic languages in Korea, millet and rice, which appeared in Korea around 3500 and 1300 BCE, respectively, have been emphasized by linguists. We assess these linguistic arguments. We first review how European archaeologists have understood the spread of farming into Europe, where the farming/language dispersal hypothesis was originally devel- oped, and how archaeology has wrestled with the issues of diffusion and migration. Then we move on to evaluating linguistic hypotheses about the dispersal and split of proto-Koreanic and proto-Japonic. Our evaluation of the ‘millet hypothesis’ and the ‘rice hypothesis’ suggests that rice is a more plausible candidate for explaining the dispersal of proto-Koreanic to Korea. Meanwhile, viewing the introduction of slender daggers to Korea as another dispersal of language to Korea needs more scrutiny.

  • Korea's Prehistoric Past
    KOREA’S PREHISTORIC PAST Marinus Anthony van der Sluijs ( [email protected] ) first published in The East Asian Monthly Business Newspaper , 9 (2008), 24-25 As a rule, visitors to England or Ireland are well aware of the impressive prehistoric treasures these countries have to offer and an excursion to Stonehenge or Newgrange is frequently on tourists’ agendas. It is clear that Korea does not have any Stone Age monuments to match these famous places, yet there are plenty of traces of Korea’s distant past that receive perhaps less attention than they deserve. Pictograms and petroglyphs are two types of rock art decorating millions of stones in almost all countries on earth, often in remote places such as deserts and mountains. Carved images known as ‘petroglyphs’ (암각화) were carved since the Neolithic or Late Stone Age and are firmly on the tourist radar in places such as the southwestern United States of America, Hawai‘i, and Australia. Few people are aware that the Korean peninsula, too, has its share of petroglyphs, all dating to the Neolithic period. At Bangudae, close to Eonyang (Gyeongsangbuk-do), a single rock panel features some 290 drawings, including hunters, fishermen, deer, tigers, pigs and what archaeologists believe are hunting tools. Nowadays, the rock can only be seen at times of drought, as the construction of the Sayon Dam has caused it to be submerged most of the time. A popular place for Korean primary school trips, not too far from Bangudae, is Cheonjeon-ri, where another panel is filled with a mix of pictures of antlered animals and abstract, geometric images such as concentric circles, spirals and joined lozenges.

Jeulmun Pottery Jeulman pottery bears design and form similarities with the pottery of the Jomon people who originally were Altaic-speaking tribes who migrated into Japan. Early Chinese texts termed these people, “the eastern barbarians.” Human Habitation Sites associated with Jeulmun pottery consist of small clusters of semisubterranean pit houses. A central hearth with stones provided heat. This was the earliest form of floor radiant heating still prevalent today in Korean houses.

  • The Mobilisation of History and Archaeology in the Korea-China Wars Over Koguryo/Gaogouli
    Volume 4 | Issue 2 | Article ID 1837 | Feb 16, 2006 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus Competing Nationalisms: The mobilisation of history and archaeology in the Korea-China wars over Koguryo/Gaogouli Yonson Ahn Competing Nationalisms: The mobilisation debate between China and Korea. It concerns of history and archaeology in the Korea- the history and heritage of Koguryo/Gaogouli China wars over Koguryo/Gaogouli (37BC-AD668) [1], which is often referred to as one of the ancient Three Kingdoms of Korea, By Yonson Ahn along with Paekche and Silla. Koguryo/Gaogouli encompassed a vast area Abstract: This article explores how and why from central Manchuria to south of Seoul at the history and archaeology have been mobilised height of its power, around the fifth century and utilised in nationalist projects in East Asia, (Im Ki-hwan 2004: 98). especially in the case of the Koguryo dispute between Korea and China. Koguryo (Korean)/Gaogouli (Chinese), an ancient kingdom in the period between 37 BC and AD 668, encompassed a vast area from central Manchuria to south of Seoul. According to the “Northeast Project”, launched in China in 2002, Gaogouli was an ethnic regime in an ancient Chinese province. In contrast, Korean historians of nationalist persuasion view Koguryo as an ancestral state of the Korean historical tradition and a foundation of the national identity. Unity, continuity and coherence are claimed in both communities through invoking the history and culture of Koguryo/Gaogouli. Koguryo/Gaogouli relics which were put on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2004 are pivotal in the contestation between China and Korea.
