Download or read book Traditional Korean Furniture written by Edward Reynolds Wright and published by Kodansha. This book was released on 2000 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The furniture of Korea is practically unique among the furniture traditions of the world. It is part of a craft that goes back well over a millennium, keeping alive a tradition of alluring and mystical designs that has remained relatively unchanged from at least the seventeenth century. It is this tradition that has made Korean furniture one of the most sought-after styles of exotic furniture by antique dealers and collectors worldwide. Immediately recognizable as Korean, this unique art was only "discovered" by the West in the late 1940s and 1950s. What first captured the attention and recognition of the world was the furniture's elegant yet robust combination of simplicity and beauty. As in Japan, the primary type of Korean furniture is the chest. It exemplifies the Korean affection for wood and wood grain patterns, using a rather limited range of woods in vigorous and decorative ways. Iron metalwork is functional or decorative or both, while most brass metalwork is largely decorative and as attractive as the woodworking itself. Shelves, tables, trays, desks, beds, and small boxes are also popular. This grand overview of one of the world's great furniture traditions will delight collectors, decorators, and anyone with an interest in the styles of Asian craftsmanship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. East Asia Studies. Despite a rich woodworking tradition, Korea's traditional furniture remains relatively unknown, especially in the West. Taking their cues from nature, Joseon-era carpenters built furniture that was functional, beautiful in its simplicity and purity of lines, ingenious in its use of wood joints, and perfectly suited to the Korean home and the local environment. KOREAN ANTIQUE FURNITURE & ACCESSORIES introduces the various types of furniture and accessories commonly seen during the Joseon era (1392-1897) and provides the associated historical, social, and cultural background to help see how Korean furniture came to be. Also presented are the tools, wood, and techniques often used by traditional woodworkers. Rich in illustrations and color photographs, this book will help the reader better understand Korean furniture and better appreciate its role and place within Korean culture.

Download or read book Art Of Modern Oriental Management: Applying The Chinese, Japanese And Korean Management Styles At Work written by Sing Ong Yu and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to present an overview of Chinese, Japanese and Korean modern management styles. The cultures of China, Japan and Korea are influenced by Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism. As such, there are some basic similarities in their management styles. As business operations become more internationalised, the management styles among Chinese, Japanese and Korean companies have blurred the lines of distinction between Western and Eastern cultures. The need for Western managers to adapt to Asian way of doing business, and likewise for Asian companies to understand Western business practices, means that managers have to bridge the gaps and adopt the best management practices containing both Western and Eastern elements.Unlike the traditional approach of setting clear differentiation between Western and Eastern cultures, this book looks at Oriental management from a modern perspective, that is, the fusion of Western and Eastern management styles. By using a multifaceted approach to understanding modern Oriental management, the author stresses the complexities of the business environment in China, Japan and Korea. He suggests that Western theories of management are applicable to Eastern cultural context with some adaptations to the local environment. The author also offers valuable insights into the management styles of Oriental managers by providing a critical perspective of their thought processes in simple yet highly relevant illustrations of models and frameworks. This book is recommended for those who are interested in attaining a deeper knowledge of Oriental management practices.

Download or read book Understanding Korean Christianity written by K. Kale Yu and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural landscape plays a momentous role in the transmission of Christianity. Consequently, the global expansion of the church has led to the increasing diversification of world Christianity. As a result, scholars are turning more and more to native cultures as the point of focus. This study examines how this new discourse evolved as well as presenting a missional methodology based on the study of the native landscapes of Korea. Kale Yu argues that the process of formulating and communicating Christianity was less consistent than is usually supposed. By immersing the reader in the thought and lived experience of various Korean contexts, Professor Yu recreates the diversity of cultural landscapes experienced by Korean Christians of different periods in history. The result is a new interpretation of cross-cultural missional interactions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore and celebrate Korean culture in America through photographs and interviews by award-winning photographer Emanuel Hahn. "Photographer Hahn's animated and vivid debut . . . is exceptional." —Publisher's Weekly, Starred Review Since the first wave of Korean immigration in the early 1900s, Korean immigrants have opened and operated small businesses across the country that enrich the cultural fabric of our communities. Yet their stories are too often overlooked, as even today their existence is being pushed to the margins of American society. In Koreatown Dreaming, a project that began in Los Angeles and expanded to eight other cities, the lives of Korean immigrants are observed with care and admiration under Hahn's tender, capacious gaze. Hahn's arresting photographs and narrativized interviews portray Korean small business owners as key figures not just in their neighborhoods but in their own lives, where they experience personal struggle, sacrifice, triumph, growth, and joy. Koreatown Dreaming is at once an anecdotal history of Korean immigration and a touching homage to Korean immigrant life. These intimate stories of over 50 small businesses are a testament to the American Dream, even while complicating the illusions of that promise, and of what it means to be American. Cities featured: Los Angeles, California; Atlanta, Georgia; Annandale, Virginia; New York, New York; Flushing, New York; Pal Park, New Jersey; Fort Lee, New Jersey; Dallas, Texas; Honolulu, Hawaii.

Book excerpt: This comprehensive study omits no aspects of Korean life: its chequered history, brilliant success and aspirations for the future. Its tribal trek from Mongolia via China and subsequent wars to establish independence have taken part in producing a civilisation beneficial to mankind. Its outstanding economic success, formerly attributed to low wages by Western countries unable to compete, results from skill, hard work and an educational system, both public and private, relevant to country and individual. Recently a political revolution has established a democracy as President Chun, father of economic success, retires in favour of a new constitution drafted by ruling and opposition parties: a triumph for the moral stance of 'The Land of the Morning Calm'.

Download or read book Graphic Model of the Processes Involved in the Production of Casegood Furniture written by Kristen G. Hoff and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imports from foreign furniture manufacturers are on the rise and American manufacturers must take advantage of recent technological advances to regain their lost market share. To facilitate implementation of technologies for improving productivity and quality, a graphic model of the wood furniture production process has been developed using the IDEF (ICAM--Integrated Computer Aided Manufacturing-DEFinition) modeling process and is presented. IDEF modeling provides a graphic representation of the production process by presenting the information in easy-to-grasp chunks. A description of the modeling process explains how the model represents the data that flows through the plant, the activities in the plant, and their interaction. Analysis of the model may result in improved communication, recognition of specific points for implementing new technologies, evidence of bottlenecks and problem areas, simplified inventory control, or reduction of paperwork.
