Korea

Room - 9

The Korean people have their origins in the Altai region of southern Siberia, and until the arrival of Buddhism between the 4th and 6th centuries, practised a shamanistic religion that reflected their Siberian roots. With Buddhism came the practice of cremation requiring the production of burial urns.
