Hello, this is the Korea National Souvenir Center.

There are three major painters in Korea.


The main characters are Hong-do Kim, Seung-up Jang, and YoonBok Shin.

Today, I would like to learn about Hyewon YoonBok Shin.





1. Life of Hyewon YoonBok Shin


Born in 1758, he was born as the oldest son.

YoonBok Shin was a painter who was so good at painting the lifestyle of ordinary people 

during the Joseon Dynasty.

In particular, Hyewon was very good at painting love between men and women 

so that nobody else could follow in this field.





2. Hyewon YoonBok Shin's Works




YoonBok Shin presents both the poetic taste and the romance between men and women, 

the urban sense and the humor of the gisaeng and gibang, 

but he was also looked negatively by the Confuciancustoms of Joseon Dynasty.





There are a lot of products that are inspired by YoonBok Shin

at the Korea National Souvenir Center!

Let's see it together.




1. Lamp with painting of Korean artist YoonBok Shin

(Go to buy)


It is good for interior use and gift.

Because It is made of the motif of YoonBok Shin's paintings, 

it gives us a sense of informal

I think it's good to feel an odor of antiquity hidden in it.





2. Fruit plate


It would be great to use it to list the fruit when the guests vistit.

Wouldn't everyone be fascinated by Yoonbok Shin's paintings as fruits disappeared one by one?

Dancheong goose

K-design 2018. 5. 2. 09:00

Hello, this is the Korea National Souvenir Center.


Today, I would like to introduce dancheong goose.


As soon as I see it, it is a pair of dancheong geese that are so cute that

 I want to give presents to newly-weds.


Dancheong goose is often presented as a gift to newly-weds.
Especially, it was a mandatory wedding gift from 80s.

Do you know why?

Let's find out.



Dancheong goose's Meaning



Dancheong goose means " single-hearted " that it will only look at you for the rest of its life.

The goose is a symbol of the bride and groom's good love.
So it is used as a traditional wedding accessory.





The goose was traditionally considered a good omen to rest on a platform like a duck.
When holding a traditional wedding, many guests brought dancheong wild geese like the current wreath!

In fact, wild geese have a deep affection both, so once paired, they will live together for life.

Maybe it is the same reason why you give dancheong wild goose as a gift.





Dancheong goose Application


Let's take a look at the dancheong goose that is sold at the Korea National Souvenir Center.

Dancheong goose that is sold at the Korea National Souvenir Center has traditional Korean five color.



Isn't Dancheong beautiful based on red, yellow, blue, black, and white colors?

If you look closely, you will see that five colors are used.




Isn't a pair of geese really cute?

I wanted to buy it even though I'm not married!

(Doesn't mean anything...TT)



   

You can twist these neck.




I wish you could always look at one place and join together!


Dancheong goose is a very good product for house and honeymoon gifts.

Hello, this is the Korea National Souvenir Center.


In Korea, May is called The Month of Family!

Because they spend a lot of time with their family members.

example Children's Day, Parents' Day, and so on.


They also give presents to their parents on The Month of Family.

You may be concerned about what kind of gift to give.



Don't worry about what gifts to give,

just trust the Korea National Souvenir Center and come with me!!





Miniature Traditional Teacup

(Go to buy)


I think it's very important to have a relaxing afternoon tea time and a one time break.

For parents who prefer healthier tea to coffee, how about this cup?

This is a traditional cup of tea.


If you drink tea, it is good for your health, but wouldn't it be better if you look at a beautiful cup?

It would be great if you gave it to your parents as a meaningful gift for Parents' Day.







Bandori Tea Table

(Go to buy)


(bandori: The Rest after completing the work)


Oh, it takes a Tea Table to enjoy it with a cup of tea, right?

Bandori Tea Table is a tea table made of neat design without any spare.


So no matter what cup of tea you put on it, it looks good on you.

Parents would love it if I bought it with tea cups.








Frame

(Go to buy)


(Design: The Painting of Flowers and Butter flies)


We call it Chochengdo.

The frame edges are also so luxurious!


Wouldn't they be happy to think about the child who gave the picture when they saw it?








Traditional Korean Taegeuk Cutlery

(Go to buy)






This is a set of spoons. It's a choice for parents.

It is also very high in color and high in quality, so I think it would be interesting to senior citizens.

For spoon sets, many people are hesitant about it because of its price!


You can but it at a little cheaper at the Korea National souvenir Center.

The spoon set is the most commonly used product in real life.

That's why it's a more practical gift.




Four products were selected by the Korea National souvenir Center.

How was it?


What kind of gifts are you thinking of?

I wonder about your gift.

K-design 2018. 4. 13. 09:00

Hello, this is Korea National Souvenir Center :-)



Today, I will introduce Korean traditional card game, Hwatu.


When I think about Hwatu,

I think money will come and go in a serious atmosphere.

It's mostly negative.


But what I introduce Hwatu is a movement to destroy all of these negative images.


There are three versions of the Cute, the Style and the Classic.

Today, I only want to review the Cute version :)





It feels very different from traditional cards.

It's cute just to see the lid..!







When you open the lid,

the cute cards are neatly arranged.


Let's take a closer look!







Jocker that stands out as soon as you open it up.

Joker isn't that cute? TT



The other cards are very cute, so look forward to it.







All shots!

It feels completely different from the existing paintings.

Especially, card number 1 is so cute!


Plus, It was contained with identification numbers on the hwatu cards,

so people who don't know how to play hwatu can enjoy them easily.






I will make new rules for my cards!!

There is a DIY card for people who want to make their own bonus cards!.


When you travel, you can spend time in peace with your friends

with this Yongjaeng Hwatu.

Let's see it together.



1. Colorful Korea Smartphone Case



The first product I want to introduce to you is
" Colorful Korea Smartphone case. "




There are many different types from A to G.
You can choose what you want!
Let's take a look at it carefully.


I picked out E.
It is designed with dragon and flowers.

The color is also pale pink for spring when cherry blossoms bloom!





I'm using the iPhone 7, so I can get one at a time!
Except for the iPhone 6 and 7, have to call in advance !!

Since it is so beautiful, I will recommend purchasing it regardless of the model.




2. Cololrful Korea Hand Mirror




I'll start by giving you a perfect color and design.
It is also the size that comes in one hand, so I think I can use it without any problems.






3. The Case for Letters




This is a Korean traditional paper mailbox.
Many people ask me, " Where do you use your letter box? "

In the case of letter box, not only is it a simple mailbox!
It's also effective in storing important documents, business cards, and receipts. Haha






Many different mailboxes are located in one of the most popular tourist attractions in Korea,
but the flower pattern makes it seem like it goes better with spring !!





4.  Business card wallet.



My favorite item among the new products is leather business card wallet.

There are many different shapes.
They all have flower patterns in common.




This is what it looks like when you open your wallet.
Although it is a business card wallet, it is also highly practical because it can be used as a card wallet.



If you needed a business card wallet, how about this one?
I'd like to recommend a wallet full of flower patterns for spring !!









Until now, it is suitable for the spring with the Korea National Souvenir Center !!
Isn't it amazing to have such pretty products?

Hello!

It's Korea National Souvenir Center :)

 

We're back to the 'What is it for?' series!




We'll give you a quiz right away!!




What is this..?



What is this for?

Let's take it step by step!




Gold from the wrapping..!!

It looks so luxury.



You don't feel it yet, do you? :-)


Let's open the lid.





I see.. a beautiful wood and shining with gold..

Something must be important!!





Hexagon.. One to five dots on each side...


Is it ornament?





But what are the eight objects next to it???





What?! This pattern is familiar!


Now do you know the answer?

The Joseon traditional board game during the Korean holidays

This is the fun Yut game!





Introduce the luxurious and unique Yut game set

that is sold at the Korea National Souvenir Center.



HANYUT is a Yut game set

 that was inspired from the Joseon traditional board game of Seunggyeongdo

and reinterpreted the existing four Yut Garak with one Yut stick!






The stick use a delicate, solid piece of straw.

Beautiful colored brass and red copper were combined in harmony using inlaid technique.


It is also said that the wood is made of eco-friendly oil.

Metal materials will be more vintage as time goes by!





Since the stick and the pieces are made up of hexagonal and circular shapes,

you can feel the aesthetics and formative characteristics.


Wait here!


Usually, Yut sticks are composed of four pieces.

HANYUT has one especially thick, but only light.





Don't you wonder how do you divide 'Do, Gae, Gul, Yut, Mo'?






If you throw a Yut stick and the side that has five circles will be 'Mo'

A long circle is a single backwards movement, 'Backdo'.






Another unique feature of HANYUT is

 its low probability of having a chance to throw twice when the stick is placed.


Anyone can enjoy these rules

because this is the same as Yut game we know about.


Visit the Korea National Souvenir Center

to see the traditional board game, the beautiful and unique 'HANYUT'!

Gangneung Embroidered Glass Cleaning Cloth

 

 

Gangneung Embroidered Glass Cleaning Cloth is highly regarded

not only in Korea but also in many other countries

for its abstract and modern sense!


In Gangneung, it is used for coma clothes.

It is said that the mothers of the past made a stitch in hopes

The great point of this craft is

creative beauty, complete with rich imagination and delicate senses.

 

 

This cleaning cloth is a practical product
