About This Book
Although the Korean Empire (Daehan Jeguk) was short-lived, it holds great historical significance as it marked the first step in dismantling the traditional feudal order and transitioning toward a modern state system. This period witnessed the full-scale influx of Western culture and dramatic changes across politics, economics, society, and culture. It was truly an era of upheaval, in which the nation pursued development and endured conflict while striving to be recognized by the international community as an independent and sovereign state.
Illustrated Military Uniforms of the Korean Empire offers a perspective on the transformations of military attire during this time, providing a key to understanding modern Korean history in a more multidimensional way. The book’s extensive, period-specific illustrations demonstrate how the Korean Empire adopted Western-style military uniforms while still attempting to incorporate uniquely Korean elements. It vividly captures the rapidly shifting styles of the era, from the wide variety of uniforms that emerged amid rapid modernization to the gradual loss of uniqueness caused by increasing Japanese interference and aggression leading up to and following the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty.
