A heartwarming story about family, resilience, fashion, and staying true to who you are—told through three generations of tailors in a rapidly changing Seoul.

When Deokgu opens a brand new tailor shop in town, all of Seoul is skeptical of his modern styles. Who would want to wear such funny-looking suits? But Deokgu remains devoted to his craft, and it's not long before the shop begins to flourish, becoming a beloved fixture in the community.
Written and illustrated by Ahn Jaesun, <i>The Tailor Shop at the Intersection</i> follows three generations of tailors weaving themselves and their business into the fabric of their community in a rapidly changing Seoul. Ahn's award-winning illustrations convey with great affection a more complicated story about the pressures that rapid development place on culture, commerce, and local business.
In <i>The Old Tailor Shop at the Intersection</i>, Ahn Jaesun shows how commitment, adaptability, and staying true to yourself help pave the way for success—and how embracing change and honoring tradition can go hand in hand.
