Over this long period of time, Koreans have created their own language, writing system, arts, culture, foods, and spiritual world. In this regard, the 100 windows introduced here inprovide readers with an opportunity to find out who Koreans were and are, what they eat, and what kinds of thoughts have animated them during this long process. Further more, this book also offers readers insight into how modern-day Koreans live.
