  • Namdaemun Market, Seoul
    Namdaemun Market, Seoul Namdaemun Market is one of the largest markets in South Korea The Namdaemun Market is located in South Korea's Seoul district. It is one of the largest markets in South Korea that sells an assorted range of products, including men and women's apparel, children's clothes, kitchenware, accessories, and other products. The market is also known as Sungnyemun. Almost all of these shops have their own manufacturing units and thus are able to sell the products at both wholesale and retail prices. As a result, the visitors are able to buy the products at extremely low rates. Visitors from different countries show unique tastes and preferences. For example, while the tourists from the West are inclined to enjoy just the aura of the market, the Chinese are interested in buying clothes and some miscellaneous items, the Japanese are foodies as they like ginseng, gim, and gimchi. Children wear has captured over 90 percent of the market. You would find children's dresses, socks, shoes, and T- shirts. A major part of the market is covered by women's apparel, including suits, casual wear, clothes for elderly, women suits, etc. The Namdo Market along with the subterranean Doggaebi Market sells infant goods, clothing, liquor, canned food, etc. Ginseng sells dried squid, peanuts, pine nuts, dried cod, laver, etc. The Optician's shops sell corrective glasses, sunglasses, and contact lens. Mountain, Ski, and Fishing Gear such as backpacks, mountain boots, etc., are also sold in the market. The market pulsates day and night. Restraining yourself from buying things is difficult here.

These are the 5 directional colors called ‘o-bang-saek’ in Korean. Based on Yín-Yáng Schòol, our ancestors prayed for good luck and thought those colors even drove bad forces out. To Koreans, o-bang-saek is more than just a combination of colors. It is meaningful in various areas such as space, philosophy, wisdom, etc. While o-bang-saek is representative color of Korea, the space representing Korea is the Hangang (river). Having been the basis of people’s livelihood, the Hangang flows through the heart of Seoul and serves as the space linking nature, the city and human beings. So let’s take a look at the river through the prism of o-bang-saek, the traditional color of Korea.

The first two characters mean “the hibiscus region,” referring to Korea, while the other two (“luxuriant mugwort”) are a metaphor inspired by Confucian commentaries on the Chinese Book of Odes, and could be translated as “enjoy encouraging erudition.” SUBMISSIONS: Transactions invites the submission of manuscripts of both scholarly and more general interest pertaining to the anthropology, archeology, art, history, language, literature, philosophy, and religion of Korea.
