Upstairs on the second floor of a building off Jungang-ro, in Jeju City's old downtown, you'll find dimano, which calls itself "a gift shop for people who love to look closely at things." Its name means "from the hand" in Italian, and fittingly, it's full of objects that have passed through many hands over the years. There's a cat-shaped cocktail fork holder made in 1960s Europe, a ceramic money box from Germany, and a wooden table clock that looks like it once sat in a sweet shop. Each piece comes with a carefully written note on when it was made, its shape and its little details. Ttuttu, the shop's hedgehog mascot, and enmano, the restaurant next door, add a friendly warmth to the place. If you love taking your time with old things, why not stop by this little gift shop on a stroll through the old town? Focus Item — European vintage egg cups. These little egg cups made their way here from European breakfast tables. Each one has its own shape and pattern, and a single boiled egg is all it takes to make an ordinary morning feel a little special.
