"Experience Dano Customs"... Ulsan Daegok Museum, 'Fan and Bracelet' Making

Ulsan Daegok Museum will hold a traditional seasonal customs experience event titled "Wise Summer Welcome, Dano" for three days from the 22nd to the 24th.

Dano falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month (June 22 this year) and is also called Suritnal or Jung-ojeol. It was considered a major holiday as it is the day when yang energy is at its peak during the year. Around this time, after finishing rice planting, various traditional customs were performed with hopes for the healthy growth of rice and to have a good summer.

This experience event will follow the royal court custom of making fans during Dano, which the king would bestow upon his officials, with a "Dano Fan Decorating" activity (June 22?24). On the 24th, there will also be a "Dano Bracelet Making" session, inspired by the tradition of making bracelets with colorful threads to pray for a child's health and to ward off evil spirits.

In the museum's front yard, visitors can also experience traditional games such as ring toss, tuho (arrow throwing), and hoop rolling. On-site participation is available on the day of the event, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

To commemorate the designation of the historic site "Je 2-ro Jikbong~Ulsan Buro Mountain Beacon Mound," Ulsan Daegok Museum is holding a special exhibition titled "Beacon Mounds, the Relay of Torches and Smoke" from May 16 to August 27.
