  10. Saegimsori Handmade Stamp

    shop

    33 Insadong-gil, Gwanhun-dong, Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea

    Shop where the owner will carve your name or a symbol into a stamp so that it is unique and one of a kind. There are many unique and cute designs for the body of the stamp as well. You can get your star sign. These stamps in Korea have significance because you need to use them on legal documents such as when you're buying or selling a house. That is why we carve out one of a kind stamps in order to prevent identity theft and we lock away our stamps because back in the day before everything was digitized people could actually steal your stamp in your house documents and sell your house off.

    This particular one had so such a beautiful array of ceramics as well as a lot of choices for healthy tea options. I particularly like this place because you could try the tea before you chose.
