doljanchi

my pseudo-nephew celebrates his first bday, korean style

happy bithday sean!!
The highlight of the dol is a ritual where the child is placed in front of a table of foods and objects such as string, books, brushes, ink and money. The child is then urged to pick up an object from the table. It is believed the one selected will foretell the child's future.
Sean picked up a calculator, making his actuary father very happy, and then a paint brush, pleasing his artistic mother :)
