Description
Dining tables called soban constituted important daily objects in every household. They still are widely used but for more diverse purposes these days, since the lifestyle of Koreans has changed under western influence. This book introduces an enchanting selection of ancient dining tables made in different regions, mostly during the late Jeseon period when the woodcraft industry thrived, with accounts of their historical origins and evolution.
