Korean Women's Traditional Archery
I'm referring to this 1935 photo originally linked by Jiao:

I have one or two other sources showing Korean women in traditional costume doing archery, but I don't know when that fashion started and whether it has stopped.
Can anyone advise?

From what I know, it pretty much disappeared after the 60s. I think I have pics of it around that time in a book somewhere, but I'll have to find it.
The picture was from a competition in Taegu, which is about an hour from where I am.
