Nurimaru APEC House

This guide to Nurimaru APEC House in Busan opens on a small detail: the fastened bow on a durumagi, the traditional Korean overcoat twenty-one heads of state were dressed in for one photograph on November nineteenth, 2005. It traces the ritual back to Bill Clinton's leather jackets in Seattle in 1993, and the two months organizers spent choosing a garment stitched with symbols worn on Korean ceremonial dress for centuries. Climb to the top floor, where the leaders' conference room from that November still sits preserved.
