'Hip Tradition' (Hip+Tradition)

It is said to be a trend to enjoy traditional culture in a 'hip' way.

In 'Jinny's Kitchen', which aired in Korea around February last year, the 'Banga Sayusang Miniature' that became famous thanks to BTS appeared. This 'Banga Sayusang Miniature' is also a good that is sold at the National Museum of Korea Museum Shop.


I recently visited the National Museum of Korea. There were various goods at the Museum Shop.
There were a lot of goods, including the Banga Sayusang miniature, but I'm going to organize all the items I wanted at that time and the items I searched for at home.

Bronze Daehyangro Miniature

At the Museum Shop, the Bronze Daehyangro Miniature was on sale except for the gold color. Of course, the gold color is sold out ^^;; When I searched on the internet, I found that all the goods that arrived on February 16 (Fri) were sold out. They said that additional arrivals will be announced later.

This 'Bronze Daehyangro Miniature' is said to be made with a 3D printer. As the name suggests, it is an 'incense burner', so it can be used as an incense holder, mosquito coil holder, candle holder, or for storing accessories, candy, etc.
Personally, I think it's better to use it to store small accessories than as an incense burner because it costs 99,000 won (75USD).

Mother-of-Pearl Business Card Holder (Four Guardians Blue Dragon)

Najeon Business Card Holder (Sasudo Cheongryong)

It's a product that goes perfectly with the year of the Blue Dragon. It's a business card holder that you'd love to give as a gift to someone in sales(?) who uses business cards a lot. It's a handmade product made in the same traditional Najeonchilgi (mother-of-pearl inlaid lacquerware) method of Korea, in which patterns are carved into the mother-of-pearl and then embroidered onto a wooden product, and then finished with paint.

Price: 30,000 won

Bell Sound Set

Bell Sound Set

Bell Sound Glass Set

It is said that the bell makes a sound when you tilt the glass. It was made based on the bell glass made in the ancient Gaya and Baekje periods, but a bell is attached to the bottom to get a clear sound, which works on the principle of a bell.
But just by looking at it, the size is a bit big. It's not the size of a regular soju glass.
Price: 10,000 won ($7.5USD) per glass, 45,000 won ($33.64USD) for a set of 5 glasses

Photo of the Gonryongpo Cup

Gonryongpo Cup

Gonryongpo Glass

It is sold at the National Museum of Korea Museum Shop. I saw it in person, and it was so beautiful and iridescent. It has the luxuriousness of the Gonryongpo, and it looks slightly bigger than a soju glass, but since it's made of porcelain, I think it won't hold the same amount of liquid as a soju glass.

Gonryongpo Cup

Oh! And because it has gold leaf, it can't be used in the microwave. You also can't put it in the dishwasher.
Price: 35,000 won ($26.1USD) for a set of 3 glasses
It's not sold individually, but if you calculate it individually: 11,700 won ($8.7USD) per glass

'Jeon Keumhongdo's Pyongan Provincial Governor's Banquet Painting' is a set of 3 color-changing soju glasses. When cold liquor (soju) touches the glass, the face part turns red from a transparent glass.Isn't it too cute?!^^
Price: 26,000 won ($19.5USD) for a set of 3 glasses
It's not sold individually, but if you calculate it individually: 8,700 won ($6.5USD) per glass

It is currently sold out, but pre-order sales will begin on Naver Shopping on April 1 (Mon), 24 at 5:00 PM.
