Abstract

We can get a glimpse of Koreans' ideas from our traditional costume culture. Koreans had a communication-oriented community consciousness that recognized clothes as “our clothes” rather than individual exclusive, and thought clothing as a medium for expressing courtesy and wanted to dress with dignity when there were major ceremonies. As shown in the white clothes and seasonal customs, we have enjoyed a dress culture that reflects the purity of nature and awes the birth of life, as shown in the management of newborns. In addition to the activity of dressing, the liberation of humanity created by colors and forms, and the humanity suggested by the restrained line of costume are also noteworthy. On the other hand, we can also find in traditional costumes our spirit of convergence which comes from Eastern relational thinking. Like Korean clothing culture, it is rare for “human and human” to be combined to share clothes with each other and recognize clothes as a means of consideration and respect. And the convergence culture of “human and nature” in line with the change of seasons or the awe of life is unique. In addition, as in our case, it is difficult to find not only the harmony of practicality and aesthetics, but also the convergence dress culture of “things and objects” that reaches the harmony between colors, lines, and forms. It was difficult to find a discussion on the human ideology contained in traditional Korean clothing by approaching humans and humans, humans and nature, and objects and objects. I looked at the characteristics of Korean costume culture through a methodology of convergence.
