Inwangsan, the shaman's choice

The mountain closest to our house, in the west of city, is Seoul's Shamanic center of gravity. We happened upon a ritual where women in robes were clattering cymbals, chanting, and holding up long ribbons of white paper.





Sacred rock, said to resemble either a monk standing on his robe or in conversation with the king.


Inwangsan used to be home to a large tiger population.
