Many Buddhist monks in Korea usually prefer to wear 고무신, Gomusin, rubber shoes. Gomu means rubber and Sin shoes. Gomusin as simple and cheap rubber shoes had been the most popular shoes among Koreans in the past but now it is not easy to see anyone wearing Gomusin. White and black were the most common colors.
Traditional fermented foods like Kimchi, soybean paste, pepper paste are well stored in jars made of clay for long periods. There used to be jar stands in front or behind garden in almost every Korean houses. Their locations varied depending on where the sunniest spot is in the house. The designs of jars vary in color and size as much as those who make them.
In urban districts, it is getting harder to see clay jars as well as jar stands because of changes in resident environment.
