[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Korean-Folk Village in Seoul, near Suwon. I visited with a couple friends and this was the first time that I saw the actually transformation from raw (live) silk worm into a garment.. It was pretty amazing to watch. This little fella managed to get out of the pot after being de-silked. At this time, we also partook in the consumption of the little cooked worms. Again another interesting experience, I will have to try again before I depart... Hope you like it. One of my favorites.

Hi James,
I had never seen formation of silk as garment. I even didn't know what the apparatus look like.
This device looks like a very old version of washing machine having a rolling apparatus for garment to get dried.
