These two volumes as a set tell all about Korea's old culture by vividly presenting a variety of Korea's history-related relics and materials found in museums, palaces, and temples as well as in traditional houses. They introduce Korea’s cultural heritage through 15 categories of detailed explanations of the items. The first book deals with such outdoor relics as the world cultural heritage sites (including Changdeokgung Palace, Hwaseong Fortress, Bulguk-sa temple, and the Tripitaka Koreana), royal palaces, traditional - including roofed and thatched - houses, Buddhist temples, castles and fortresses, ancient tombs, old architectures, and prehistoric cultural relics, among others. The second volume is largely devoted to handicrafts, folk customs, clothing, science, musical instruments, calligraphy and paintings. In the second book, other fascinating cultural assets include pictures of king’s procession and the vehicles or carts used for them, ceremonial implements, weapons (including cannons and firearms), swords, spears, bows, encased ornamental knives, ships, and currency. This book puts much emphasis on presenting as many vivid pictures and visual illustrations available to readers. This book is designed to demonstrate Korean history as alive rather than relying on dry and worn-out explanations. The readers will find more than 4,000 pictorial sources and see various aspects of Korean culture. The photographs here have been provided by the National Museum of Korea, the National Folk Museum, and the Royal Museum of Korea among others. |
