It is said that Ojuk roots as materials are difficult to make into products.
The reason is that the thickness of the roots is all different, and most Ojuk roots tend to be thin.
Ojuk is especially thin compared to other bamboo.
That is why the roots are very thin as well.
The roots that are used in Gongyeedam’s Ojuk products are thick cuts, making the material hard to come by and very rare.
The Ojuk Button Card Wallet is made with specifically chosen Ojuk roots with a hole bored through the bud, which is turned into a button for the wallet.
This story of From Ojuk Roots to Decorations is based on the story of Gongyeedam’s [Ojuk Collection].
