In Korea, certain objects aren't just decorative. They're woven into everyday life in ways you might not expect.
A seal (Dojan) isn't simply a stamp. It's how Koreans prove their identity on contracts, documents, and agreements. When someone becomes an adult, they commission their own seal—a ritual as important as a signature elsewhere. A keychain seal becomes part of how you move through the world.
A talisman isn't superstition. It's a gift Koreans give when someone moves into a new home or opens a business. A genuine wish for good fortune and protection. These small figures sit in shops, offices, and homes across the country, carrying real meaning in Korean culture.
I created Joseon-Yangban to share these objects and the customs behind them. Not because they're exotic, but because they're real-things Korean people actually use, believe in, and pass down. Whether it's a handcrafted seal, a lucky charm, or a keyring that reflects Korean tradition, every item here tells you something about how Koreans live.
We curate for people who are curious, who want to understand a culture not just through words, but through the objects that matter to its people.
