Stalls selling school supplies and used books during the Korean War grew into this lane. Used-book shops line both sides of a narrow street, and owners and customers pick through piles quietly. Old textbooks, comics, magazines and literature are all cheap. Small cafés and cultural spaces have joined in recent years. The lane is narrow, so go slowly.
