Story of Bojagi
Once upon a time, when there was no such thing as ‘Bag’, how would people in Korea carry things around? The answer is...... Bojagi. Bojagi is a square shape fabric(just like handkerchief) made for wrapping objects. In old days, it was only used to carry things around, so when bags show up, Bojagi lost its job and disappeared. However, it revived in a form of art. It is now used for gift wrapping, interior decoration and many other places.
