| Item Description: | This book is an examination of the traditional Korean village, a key element in the communal nature of traditional Korean society. The village homes, roads and structures, as well as its varied intangible folk culture, provide valuable insights into the many relationships that characterized the communal nature of life engendered there. Therefore, this book does not limit itself to the tradiotional home, but through a comprehensive examination of such things as the natural environment and landscape surrounding the village, it attempts to forster an understanding of both traditional and contemporary korean culture. It is hoped that this might provide foreign residents of korea and young people everywhere a better understanding of both life in the traditional Korean vilage and Korean culture in general. |
