The Ssamzigil is a square building, not a street. It has four floors and is consist of a Korean rice cake shop, a paper hanger, an antique shop and Korean restaurants, etc. It's a quite low rise structure made out of concrete, metal, glass and wood definitely feeling modern yet warm and approachable by having open ramp style passage ways with a very slight slope. It is seen as a Korean culture complex, what is more it's so unique and has set a sort of new direction for good old Insadong.
The weather was so fine and we amused ourselves by looking on the variegated sceneries and sketching here and there in the fantastic building. Welcome to join the usk Seoul, Bahk Joung-yeon and Han Jeong-seon!
