Korean Lights

I was pleased to receive this beautiful traditional Korean lamp just the other week

through e-bay.

And coming from South Korea it took a while to get here. I have in the past made one or

two Asian lamps, but these kind of lamps are made by true craftsmanship and are not

so easy to emulate. Interestingly the lamp came with an overpowering bright bulb so

I changed it to a low wattage 15 watt bulb, the type you have in a fridge or oven.

And so now it gives off a nice warm glow.

Below is a traditional Korean house called a Hanok which represents a significant

side of Korea's residential culture and architectural heritage.

I photographed this at the Korea stand when I last visited The British Museum.
