Pohang Steel Art Festival (포항스틸아트페스티벌)

The sea of ​​Pohang extends deep inland, creating a landscape distinct from other places. The warmth of the people of Pohang also abundantly conveys a hospitality unlike anywhere else. Capturing the identity of Pohang, a city that lives with iron, and dreaming of the renewal of iron and the completion of ironware, the theme of the Pohang Steel Art Festival is set as "Takma" (琢磨), a Buddhist term meaning "Iron sharpens iron, Potatoes sharpen potatoes."
