ABSTRACT

This objective of this study is twofold: To analyze our ancestors' leisure form, space and types of play through late-Chosun genre paintings and to look for the ways to integrate such leisure space and play culture as part of our modern-day culture. I conducted an extensive research via the internet and literature and asked two scholar and professional to perform cross-analysis in order to secure credibility. The research presents us with two major findings and a conclusion: First, the form of leisure differs between nobility and commoners. Commoners spend their leisure time in a living space, whereas noblemen engage in leisure activities, dressed in formal clothing and showing proper manners. Secondly, commoners participate in leisure activities that can take place in such natural spaces as yards, alleyway and streets; whereas noblemen tend to set apart their own leisure space besides rooms, gardens and the nature. It is conclusion that we need to develop appropriate policies and programs to preserve and integrate our disappearing play culture from the past as part of our modern-day culture.
