The shape is unmistakable, and I have one of my own. They are fertility/virility symbols--just check out the phallic shape!<BR/><BR/> Here is a <A HREF="http://www.lifeinkorea.com/culture/changseung/Changseung.cfm?xURL=Harubang" REL="nofollow">link with some further info/examples</A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-21730830330528488472009-03-23T15:17:00.000-04:002009-03-23T15:17:00.000-04:00I had a "junior nurse" lunchbox.
