Bottari is the will, drive, hope, wish, desire, and longing of the street vendors of Hwanghakdong. At the end of a day’s work, the vendors tightly bind their precious goods with rope. To make the wrapping firm, they must pull the rope taut. Veins rise in their arms, legs, necks, and faces. The will to live. In the bottari at dawn, one can see the figure of an individual glowing in the darkness.
