K is for Korea

From Arirang to Lacquerware to Taekwondo, this vivid photographic alphabet introduces Korea. Despite the country’s division into communist North and democratic South, Koreans form one ethnic family, and behind the bustling South Korean cities and quays exporting electronics, cars and ships lies a deeply traditional country with its own language and customs. Focusing on both town and country life, this is a colourful celebration of Korea’s many-layered life.
