This study aim to explore how formed of the Korean animation industry during 1960s~1970s. A Japanese animator Nobuhide MORIKAWA insisted that he had chosen the “first” Korean animators in TBC(Tongyang Broadcasting Company). He stated that a high-ranking government official of Japan let him go to Korea after Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea. MORIKAWA's mission was to teach animation techniques in TBC. As his statement shows, it is clear that Korean animation industry have had deep relationship with Japan. However it is necessary to verify MORIKAWA's statement. Is it true that TBC animation team built Korean animation industry? If it is true, how did they create Korean animation industry? This study approach the issues through oral statement on the professionals of Korean animation industry in the 20th Century. To determine whether Japanese animator MORIKAWA had employed the “first” animator in Korea, this study also investigated documents. As a result, this paper sheds light on the point that there had been already animators in Korea before TBC animation team formed. Furthermore, TBC animation team did not have strong influences in Korean animation industry. The reasons are as follows. First, TBC animation team existed only 3 years. It was not enough time to have a decisive effect on Korean animation industry. Secondly, there was only one person, Jeong Kyu YIM, who had worked as an animator after TBC animation team broke up. TBC's infra did not work in Korean animation industry. However, TBC animation team has symbolic meaning in Korean animation history. Firstly, Korean learned animation in TBC as the cutting-edge technology at an inceptive stage of animation industry. Secondly, TBC showed that animation can be a promising business for the next generation.

There are three aspects in sphere of arts, that is an artist, works of arts, and audience. When we find new world through works of arts, in that process we will realize importance of interpretation of works of arts. Also it is important what is a criteria of interpretation in contemporary hermeneutics. In this article, we will deal with the problem of interpretation of works of arts in terms of Pragmatism. Especially we will discuss a relationship between interpretation of works of arts and understanding of works of arts following to Richard Shusterman and Susan Sontag's viewpoints. In this process, we will find out the problem of hermeneutical universalism in understanding of arts, and we will suggest an alternative for understanding of works of arts in terms of Pragmatists. Finally we will examine the meaning of debate between hermeneutical universalism and Pragmatism.

The purpose of this article is to examine the case of convergence education for effective development of traditional technology-based R & D projects and to identify its role and necessity. The results are summarized as follows. First, convergence education provides a base knowledge that enables products using traditional technology to acquire technical merit and to have value as a product that reproduces ‘tradition’. Second, convergence education plays a role in expanding the intellectual background of professional workforce directly involved in product production and deepening cultural sensitivity. Designers and producers can make product storytelling based on this background knowledge and maximize added value by producing products with traditional values and socio-cultural meaning. Third, the background knowledge provided by convergence education provides an opportunity to secure diversity of consumer choice by providing ideas on how to select and deliver the products produced based on what criteria are used Convergence education for R & D projects based on traditional technologies is a kind of knowledge curation in that researchers organize and provide a variety of knowledge for companies, designers with traditional skills, and artisans participating in modernizing them.
