The Year in Korean Nostalgia: January

J found something...

Old-fashioned pastimes are rendered in paper mache dolls. Those are finished with a sheen so extraordinarily oily-looking as to seem at odds with the theme of childhood innocence.

Each month's figures are placed against a traditional backdrop. Photo alteration includes adding bubbles, which apparently summon up the memory for the month.

In January Grandpa is busy tailoring. Presumably, he also tells stories to the kids who sit so raptly. To complete the cozy picture, Grandma stokes the brazier while memory bubbles float through the room.
