- Ssamziegil on a snowy day
Ssamziegil is a cultural and commercial complex situated in the middle of Insadong, the street of traditional Korean culture. The complex was established in 2004 by the company Ssamzie (쌈지), whose name literally means “small pouch”. The traditional pouch was used to hold small personal things that were valuable to the holder.
“Gil” (길) means “road”, so Ssamziegil consequently is a “road of small pouches”. When you enter and explore the complex, it’s quite easy to understand the meaning of this name, as the complex offers pouches of interesting shops, cafes and restaurants on a single winding road.
