보우하사

The most striking feature of Bowohasa is the intricate wood-carved signage hanging at the entrance, hand-painted in traditional colors that stand out against the grey-tiled roof. This small establishment functions as a space dedicated to preserving and demonstrating traditional Korean incense-making techniques. Unlike commercial incense shops, the proprietor here gathers native herbs and resins from the local mountains to hand-roll each stick. It draws people who seek the scents of Gyeongju from centuries ago, captured in a quiet, fragrant workshop.
