Description

This study aims at determining the consciousness levels of Korean and Japanese female students toward traditional ethnic costumes. It is based on an investigation conducted through the collection and analysis of questionnaires.<BR>The results are as follows : <BR>1) The female students of both countries are highly interested in their respective ethnic costumes, but some differences have been found between them as to their desires and habits of actually possessing and wearing the costumes.<BR>2) The ethnic costumes are greatly esteemed by the students of both countries for their fashionability, beauty and sociability.<BR>3) Korean students tend to be more attached to their ethnic costumes and more proud of them than their Japanese counterparts, as a symbol of their ethnicity, as a sort of spiritual haven and as a product of their traditional culture.<BR>4) The images Korean students have of their ethnic costume are expressed as “gorgeous, ” “bright” and “soft, ” while those of the Japanese include “refined, ” “luxurious” and “stiff.” <BR>5) Korean students want to improve their ethnic costume further in order to make it more suitable to today's life style, while Japanese students have no such desire. It has been found, however, that students of both countries strongly wish to preserve forever the tradition of their ethnic costumes.
