Analysis of Hair Art Created with Seasonal Images of Trees as Motives: Focusing on the Natural Monument ‘Zelkova serrata’ in Danjeon-ri, Jangseong-gun

People have pursued healing for healthy lives. As the most common way of healing, nature has often been chosen. Therefore, many diverse nature-themed works have been found in daily lives. Among such naturerelated elements, a tree is commonly used, and it is also frequently found in hair art. Even though hairstyles created based on the formative beauty or symbolic meaning of a tree are commonly observed, it is very difficult to find hair art works which give psychological inspiration. Under these circumstances, this study attempted to suggest new hairstyles by analyzing the seasonal images of trees. To analyze hair art works with the seasonal images of the natural monument ‘Zelkova serrata’ in Danjeon-ri, Jangseong-gun as motives, the different images of the tree in spring, summer, fall and winter were examined. In addition, the diverse colors and shapes of leaves and branches were expressed with hairpieces. In other words, human emotions which can be felt through such colors and shapes of the tree were expressed, using hairpieces. This kind of expression targeted to heal human body and mind by stimulating people’s vision and emotions differed from conventional hair art. In addition, it unveiled the excellence of Korean cultural heritage by creating hair art based on the natural monument. It is anticipated that there would be further studies on more diverse images of trees and that such hair art created based on natural monuments would enhance the value of Korean cultural heritage.
