Question about Korean superstition/taboo...

[telophase]

I seem to recall that there's a Japanese taboo against wrapping the kimono with the right side over the left, as that's the way it's done on the dead. Is there an equivalent superstition/taboo in Korea?

Because I'd like to know, if a Korean person saw this man, would they twig that something was up by the way he wears the right side over the left, or would it not matter?







And now to figure out what to go out and get for dinner. :P

:D This is the problem with reading material not from your culture: you can't tell if something is supposed to Mean Something or not.

I got xxxHolic 11 yesterday and read it, and despite me having read these chapter both in scanlation and now in translation, and despite KNOWING that you don't go into a traditional Japanese house with your shoes on, I totally missed that the girl who's ticked off at Yuuko because her solution isn't working runs right into the house wearing her shoes until the notes in the back pointed it out.

I always read the notes at the back, and have read the volume twice, and that has escaped my notice! (Though it probably escaped my attention after the stuff in the back because of everything else that goes on in xxxHolic/Tsubasa.)

But then, it's Clamp! We're allowed to not notice little things!
