Bring the historical essence of Joseon-era palace guards to your workspace with the Korean Palace Gatekeeper Mousepad.

Your Personal Desk Guardian
The Suwonjang Guard Changing Ceremony is a renowned cultural event that represents the royal security traditions of the Joseon Dynasty. Based on historical records from the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty (Yejo 1st year, 1469), the ritual has been reconstructed using authentic uniforms and weapons from the era. Now, this rich heritage is beautifully captured in a functional and stylish desk accessory.
