The
hanbok is the traditional Korean costume.
Nowadays people wear it mainly on
holidays and family commemoration days.
Traditional men's clothes consist
of the chogori, magoja and a loose-bodied coat,
and the pajis are wide pants that
fit loosely on the body,
narrowing at the bottom where
they are tied with ribbons around the ankle.
During cold weather, Korean men
wear a long coat ocer their clothing.
It is basically the same pattem
as the chogori, except it falls velow the knees.
Traditional women's clothes
consist of the chogori (jacket), chima (skirt). and turumagi (overcoat).
The chogori is shorter with
elegant curves shaping the bottom line of the wide sleeves.
The front part of the chogori is
tied with long bands simiar to those on the men's chogore.
The hanbok has no buttons or
hooks, two dangling chogori cloth strings tie it together.

of the Westem world, ginseng is one of Korea's most famed commodities. Korean soil and
climate are ideal for the production of high quality ginseng. so it has been cultivated in
Korea for nearly ten centuries. Known as "man foot", because of its almost
human-like shpae, it is considered a gerbal "cure-all" with excellent
rejuvenative powers. It is carefully farmed in special area of Korea, taking about six
years to reach maturity.

Korean ceramics, especilly the glazed celadon of the Koryo
Dynasty is the most famous single class of art objects the nation has produced. The
artistic beauty, as well as the high craftsmanship, of ancient Koryo celadon can be
imitated but not duplicated today. The composition of the glaze and the firing techniques
of the Koryo potters were lost during the Choson Kingdom.
3. ARIRANG
"Arirang" was orginally a refrain from a well-known
Korean folk song, but now it virtually symbolizes Korea. Foreigners traveling in Korea can
find this name in various places, even the Korean dress is often called the "arirang
dress". The most famous Arirang is a sad song about a woman grieving about her
departing lover. There are different versions of the song in various parts of Korea.
4. NONG-AK
Unlike formal and dignified court music, nong-ak, or farmer's
music, is played and enjoyed by common people on various festive occasions. A typical
nong-ak band is composed of a piri (woodwind pipe), a kwaeng-kwari (reverberating gong),
several chings (cymbals), and an assortment of drums including the indispensable changgo.
