Heritage & Craft

Crane and pine (hak and sonamu) are Korea's enduring pairing for long life and steadfast character. In najeonchilgi, slivers of natural shell are cut and set into the lacquer by hand, so the design shifts color as the light moves. Offered in this crane-and-pine design alongside a companion layout in the series.
