Sangju Persimmons

Female customers are touching freshly-dried persimmons yesterday from Sangju, Gyeongbuk, which are hanging from a deokjang, a pole used to dry persimmons, at the main branch of the Lotte Department Store in Sogong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul. The store installed deokjang to show customers how dried persimmons are made.
