Sungnyemun(Namdaemun)
Constructed in 1395, Sungnyemun is the first among National Treasures of South Korea…
The city gate that stood by us firmly for years…
… severely damaged by arson in February 2008.

Awaiting for the day when the gate will stand high by us again…
I would like to share my humble work.

CHUJA, mechanical pencil lead craftsman…

Pencil lead is weak and trivial,
While diamond is strong and precious,
Or so everyone thinks.
In fact, pencil lead (graphite) and diamond are composed of the same carbon.
Same roots, but treated so differently…
I aspire to making pencil leads more valued than diamond.
I want to create delight with pencil lead, more than diamonds can do.
