According to the Book of Rites, during the final winter month, straw figurines were placed outside doorways during the Great Exorcism ritual to expel the cold energy of winter. During the Goryeo Dynasty, there was a custom of displaying straw figurines at the beginning of spring. Hohodang honors this ancient tradition and presents a straw figurine featuring this year's animal, the snake. Created to commemorate the Year of the Snake, this figurine depicts a serpent coiled and seated with curious eyes, adorned with subtle blue water droplet patterns embroidered throughout. It embodies an elegant presence that seems to hold fortune and positive energy for the year ahead. This will be a special gift for those born in the Year of the Snake, known for their wisdom, intelligence, and multifaceted charm. We carefully package and deliver it in Hohodang's cotton-silk pouch filled with stuffing. Price: 49,000 KRW
Sourced straight from the official Korean shop. We purchase it on your behalf, receive it at our Seoul hub where we confirm it’s the right item and check the exterior for damage — sealed items stay sealed — then repack it safely for the trip overseas. You can follow every step in your Haul timeline.
