Introduction

According to the volume of Dongnaebuji (Outline of Dongnae-bu) on mountains and streams written in 1740, “Jaesongpo Port is located 10 ri (about 2.5 km) away from Dongnae-bu (traditional administrative district), filled with 10,000 pine trees.” As this excerpt shows, the origin of the village name, Jaesongpo, can be traced back to the 18th century. This festival has been taking place since 2007 to bring harmony among local residents in the Jaesong area. It is an authentic local festival that encourages local residents to become its host and participants.
