Najeon Chilgi Korea is the storefront of 박씨상방주식회사 (Park's Sangbang Co., Ltd.), registered at 97 Arayuk-ro 57beon-gil, Gochon-eup, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. The site itself carries a business registration number (1228602108) and a mail-order registration dated 2016 (제2016-경기김포-0892), which puts a floor on how long the online operation has been selling rather than confirming an exact founding year; no separate company history is published on the storefront.
The craft is najeonchilgi, Korean mother-of-pearl lacquerware, made by inlaying thin slices of iridescent shell into lacquered wood; the technique is described elsewhere as work that "can take a single craftsman months to finish by hand." The shop's catalog runs to jewelry boxes, business-card cases and decorative accessories carrying traditional peacock, floral and insect motifs, and several listings are attributed on-site to "Master Jang Tae-bok, Intangible Cultural Heritage Artisan," a credential the storefront states but does not otherwise document with biography or dates.
What isn't established: the studio's own founding story, its workshop location relative to the registered Gimpo address, and independent confirmation of Jang Tae-bok's credential beyond the product-page attribution. The surrounding context, that only a handful of najeonchilgi masters remain active today, comes from independent coverage of the craft rather than from the retailer's own limited English content, which is confined to product descriptions and checkout mechanics.
