This a picture of the facinating traditional sculptures dating back hundreds of years and are now on sale in this very trendy and artsy suburb of Seoul. As I walked through the maze of street vendors and shops I found this one to be one of the most well displayed. To bring out the definition of each piece the shop owner sprays them with a water bottle. Eventhough China is well known for their porcelean pottrey, it can be found here too. It gives one a clear picture of the melding of local and Chinese influences.
