Hanbok

 It all started when my grandfather's little brother

was in High School and got a scholarship to come to

America his graduate year.  A guest speaker chose him

and two other people to come and go to law school in

America.  So he came and studied hard.  He became a

lawyer a few years later and then invited my

grandfather and great grandfather to come to America

as well because the lumber business that my

grandfather was doing was not doing so well at the

time.  My great grandfather, grandfather, and

grandmother came to America with my dad, mom, uncle

and aunts in 1974.  They started a life in America and

began their journey to where they are right now.  the

artifacts that I chose to show are symbols of what the

traditional Korean attire would be for marriage.  They

are called hanboks and are usually worn for special

occasions.  They can range anywhere from 200 to 1000

dollars.  Not only are they worn for weddings but many

other special occasions.  Like when a baby is 100 days

old, the parents will dress them up in a little

hanbok, or when you want to respectfully address

someone, you can wear the hanbok.
