This lecture aims to introduce the Korean traditional costume and provide an opportunity to understand its characteristics.

Korean traditional forms of greeting, address, and family relations, as well as ceremonial are introduced. Students will have a sense of the traditional Korean life-style, with its unique morality and courtesy.
â–£ Korean Ceramics
Koreans began to use earthenware fired under low heat in the Neolithic Age. During the Three Kingdoms period, they made pottery fired at a high temperature with a deoxidizing flame. In the Goryeo Dynasty, elegant jade-green celadon ware became the mainstream of ceramics. The plain, spontaneous ceramics of the Joseon period, on the other hand, evoke the sentiment of the humble, common people.
