content: "This is a pair of boat-shaped clogs carved from solid blocks of wood. Hough calls the clogs "short supports," which "raise the foot about four inches from the ground." He compares the Korean namak-sin with Japanese footwear called geta, which are not used as rain clogs. Bernadou Field Notes 108 "... Mok-sin, or wooden shoes. Worn by the common people in rainy or wet weather." Collected in Seoul. Ref: Hough Korean Catalog pl. XX, upper fig. 1; Bernadou Field Notes 108" [from: "An Ethnography of the Hermit Kingdom: The J.B. Bernadou Korean Collection 1884-1885", Chang-su Cho Houchins, 2004, number 77]
