摘要:The paper attempts to examine the origins and changes in the hairstyles of Korea and
Japan from ancient to early modern times and to compare their features in order to
determine what they have in common. The results can be summarized in four points:
First, hairstyles were thought to fend off evil influences; second, they were a means to
express an ideal of beauty; third, they were an expression of a woman’s marital status;
and fourth, they were an expression of social status and wealth.
