Abstract
The purpose of this study is to scan the textiles having been used for Hanbok since the 1945 Liberation. This paper states the situation of textile industry related to Hanbok. On the basis of this, the popularized textiles of each term and their characteristics are arranged. From 1945 to 1950, in the middle of disorder of this Liberation term, the clothing situation was very bad, so the majority of people wore clothing of Moomyung or Kwangmok. In the 50s, Moomyung, Kwangmok, Okyangmok, and Poplin were popularized. People could use more different kinds of textile then such as Chokyundan, Hobakdan, Newttong, Mobondan, Popdan, and Nylon. In the 60s, Chemical fibers, beginning to come in from the 50s, were their favorites, with which they made Hanbok and Western style dresses as well. Their characteristics were to have an cubic and ornamental effect on the surface. In the 70s, Yangdan, Newttong and other typical fabrics for Hanbok were manufactured with chemical fibers. they intended to give the ornamental effect by putting gold foil, embroidery, printing, and pictures on the surface of the fabrics. In the 80s, there were no seasonable fabrics for Hanbok during this term, as all-year-round fabric like Nobangzu was in common use. In the 90s, seasonable fabrics reappeared. Owing to the increasing interest in our typical fabrics like Mosi, Mobondan, and Hangra began to be in use again.
