Jejudongjaseok is a personlike sculpture with about 30~100cm height a pair of which usually stand by a grave. Mostly made from basalt and limestone, the boy-shaped statue, established to console the dead s soul, has various kinds of figurative beauty. As nowadays this stone has become a unique monument, indicating Jeju s traditional sentiments and another representative image of Jeju, people are getting more interested in it. This study is to seek the effects of Josun Dynasty s people s hair styles, reflecting the times beauty senses, on Jejudongjaseok s. To decorate hair is a person s basic beauty instinct, based on social and cultural environments of the age. Moreover, hair styles characterize people, religions, sexes, ages, professions, and status, and suggest important materials to interpret the values of the era as some symbols. For the purpose, I referred to many historical documents and materials of Jeju s and Josun s. I analyzed Jejudongjaseok s and Josun s hair styles respectively, looked into similarities between the two, and tried to find the effects of Chosun s on Jejudongjaseok s. The results of the study show that Jejudongjaseok s hair styles are similar as Chosun s hair styles, such as Ssangsangtu, Jokjinhear, and pigtailed ribbon hear, which means Josun Dynasty had an effect on Jejudongjaseok s. In addition, each of its hair styles have changed and developed into unique forms in tune with social, political, cultural, and religious changes, influencing the forms of Jejudongjaseok.
