An exhibition titled "The Beauty of Korean Hospitality" opened at the former Korean Legation in Washington, featuring 146 traditional Korean crafts made by 23 master artisans. Highlights include a clear-toned bronze wind chime (청동 풍경), brassware known as bangjja yugi (방짜유기) used historically to serve esteemed guests, gilded paper art (금박) depicting magpies and tigers, and a silver tea set (은제 다기) adorned with plum blossoms. The show emphasizes how traditional crafts expressed etiquette and hospitality in Korea and runs through the 19th. (bangjja yugi: hammered brass tableware; geumbak: gold leaf.)
