In 1974 I was in Korea for a year.
I purchased pipes like that one and gave them to friends and kept one. Made of different types of silver with elaborate art work. Still have the one I kept.
Also if you went in to the country side you could still see old retirees wearing the customary dress like worn in the photos.
Pretty cool customs and gracious folks.
Except for that kimchi thing they have going but even that is a great story.
The Japaneese invaded Korea and enslaved the people. They fed the folks only rotted and very hot foods for decades and it became a staple. Also the Japs cut down most trees and took them back to Japan as the Japs have few natural resources.
