A palm-sized soy-wax fish shaped after myeongtae (명태), the Alaska pollack. The form comes from a long-standing Korean practice of hanging a dried pollack at the entryway as a house hold charm against misfortune, often given at housewarmings and tied to wishes for a peaceful home. hap replaces the dried fish with a cast soy-wax ornament: a small face drawn at the head, cotton thread wrapped around the middle. A paper band carries the printed line ‘항상 좋은일만 가득하길’ (may good things always fill your days). Two come in the set, in six colors (Mint green, Pink, Vintage blue, Ivory, Gray, and Black).Each one weighs 50 grams. Suitable for hanging from a door handle, doorframe, or small hook, the ornament has a soft wax surface and painted details that can wear with friction. hap describes the fragrance as ‘the warmth of being tucked into a thick blanket.’ The scent fades slowly over months indoors.
