冠帽 硏究(II) - 埴輪에 나타난 古代 日本의 冠帽를 中心으로 -

A study on Kwan Mo(II) - in Haniwa of the period of ancient burial mounds in Japan -

Japanese dress in the period of ancient burial mounds(古墳時代), which is from the late third century to the early seventh century, is closely correlated with ancient tiemes in Korea(三國時代). We can find this relation in Haniwa(埴輪) of the period of ancient burial mounds(古墳時代). The distinctive features of Kwanmo (冠帽) of the period of ancient burial mounds in Japan are follows. In the period of ancient burial mounds, they imported many different kind of Kwanmo from ancient tiemes in Korea and used them. Among them, the remarkable one was cone -shaped or bag-shaped headgear. Particularly, The cone-shaped of Kwanmo of Korea was introduced to Japan during the period of ancient burial mounds and it was adopted as an official headgear which was soon developed into 'e-bo-si'. it seems to be that Japanese typical Kwanmo, 'e-bo-si' (烏帽子), is originated from cone-shaped or bag-shaped headgear(Byunsang-Kwanmo) of Korea. 'E-bo-si' in the late Pyungan age(平安時代) became to be the totally different shape which looks completely unique as the result of long evolution. In the later ages, it looks that 'e-bo-si' is Japanese own Kwanmo. Accordingly, 'e-bo-si' seems to be completely different from our Byunsang Kwanmo. Japanese have a good power to make accepted ones different and new and to keep long. It is the characteristic inherence in the Japanese culture, quite different from ours.
