I was able to bring this book (Traditional Wood Furniture) from Korea after my dad passed away in 2001. Has color photos, descriptions of different types of furniture, functions of each, and typical locations in the house where they are kept (e.g., master bedroom, a room used by the male head of the household, like a man cave or den), and names of each part of a furniture.
Trying to figure these two out. We lived in Korea when I was a boy. Thanks for any help.
