There was an appointment with my friend in the downtown. After meeting with my friend, I headed for Chogyeosa temple located in the center of Seoul metropolitan. Even though the temple was located in the center of the city, it was not easy to stop by on purpose.
So it was not strange the area where the temple located was not so developed as other areas in the downtown.
The reason why I'd like to stop by was the shops selling the miscellanies concerning Buddhism. As the city was developing, those kinds of shops were getting disappeared.
The shop owners were so strict to be photographed, I didn't know the reason. But they were somewhat hostile to the photographer.
The shops by the road
in front of a shop
clothes for the monks
small sculptures
It seemed that we could not see those shops in the next decade.
