DANO, Korea Summer Festival 2008

What is DANO? – Korea Summer Festival!

DANO is celebrated when Yang energy is thought to be at its highest. Festival activities are such as women treat their hair in special iris extracts and men show off their power in Ssireum (Korean wrestling). It is also customary to present DANOSUN (specially decorated fans) to friends and family in preparation for approaching long and humid summer. This year, DANO falls on 8th June.
