Until the late 1960s, records of Korean shamanism were limited to materials by Japanese folklorists in the 1920s and 1930s and a small number of scholars in Korean Studies. A young educationalist in those days, Kim In-whoe felt the Western educational paradigm was limitedly applied to Korean society and became interested in Koreans’ traditional religious beliefs, or shamanism.
