The traditional culture of Korea is the shared cultural and historical heritage of Korea before the division of Korea in 1945.

Since the mid-20th century, Korea has been split between the North Korean and South Korean states, resulting in a number of cultural differences that can be observed even today.[1][2][3] Before the Joseon period, the practice of Korean shamanism was deeply rooted in Korean culture.[4][5]
