Tradition
Traditional pharmacy, Giheung-eup, Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province, outside of Seoul.
Many of the folk traditions of Korea changed after the Kabo Peasant War (1894), the Japanese Invasion (1910-1945) and the Korean War (1950-1953).
Lorie touching steam. Silkworm cocoons in hot water as they are unravelled to make silk thread.
