Hi,
MANNAM International friends? Do you have a Korean name? If so, do you have a Do-jang?
As shown in the pictures above Do-jang is a Korean seal with one’s name carved
on it.
If
you are from Western countries, you may usually write your signature on
official documents. While in East Asian countries, people use Do-jang a lot as
well as signature.
A
Do-jang is usually made of wood, stone, jade, and ivory. In Korea, people
usually have a Do-jang with their name in either Chinese character or Korean
alphabet. Nowadays, one can also have a Do-jang with his or her English name
carved on it. When you have a Do-jang, you can also buy a seal case with Korean
traditional textiles.
It
is said that a father may give a Korean seal to his son or daughter as a
university graduation gift to congratulate them on becoming a working member of
society. A Do-jang is also considered to be a good present for foreigners. If
you are interested, you can have your own Do-jang with your name in either in Korean
alphabet or English. You can also give it to your friends in your homeland as a
souvenir.
Different
cultures, interesting stories. A Do-jang is an East Asian cultural product.
What is your cultural product? We don’t know each other’s culture until we
share it. Let’s introduces each one’s culture and make a world full of
understanding, respect, and happiness.
