1920년대 한국의 직물업과 기계직 면직물 생산

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in the production and consumption of domestically produced machine-woven cotton textiles during the 1920s, a period marked by an active domestic product promotion movement. The research methods consisted of: Newspaper articles and advertisements related to textiles, fabrics, clothing, and the Korea production movement were collected, along with forty-one women’s magazines to supplement the data. A total of 203 relevant newspaper articles and advertisements were selected to analyze developments in the Korean textile industry and the characteristics of machine-woven cotton textiles during this decade. The results of this study are as follows. First, in the 1920s, Korean textile companies expanded their production capacity in response to the influx of imported textiles, investing in new looms and other machinery to facilitate the mass production of domestically produced machine-made textiles. Second, in the 1920s, Koreans increasingly purchased domestically produced textiles, such as traditional fabrics and cotton produced by domestic companies, to counter Japan’s economic encroachment. Third, domestically produced cotton textiles were developed and manufactured to compete with Japanese cotton textiles. Examples include Hanyangmok, Dongyangmok, Taegeukseong, Wasamok, Wasadan, Songgojik, and Sumok.
