The article from Korea introduces the 'Ttokttak Frame,' a unique clasp used to secure the entrance of a coin purse. It's called 'Kiss Clasps' or 'Kiss Lock' in English because the bead-shaped clasps resemble kissing lovers. This cultural artifact is commonly associated with grandmothers and evokes a universal sense of nostalgia, as seen through descriptions even in Spanish online stores. The piece is part of a series that identifies and explains everyday objects that people often don’t know the names of, providing their origins and cultural significance.
