Hwa are a type of traditional Korean boot, which, along with yi (이), is a subdivision of Korean shoes. The yi refers to all kind of shoes that do not go up to ankle.[1] Hwa are usually made of leather, and artisans who make the shoes are called hwajang (화장).[2] It was originally worn by ethnic minorities of northern China. It is assumed that hwa was introduced to Korea from Tang Dynasty of China during the Three Kingdoms period.[3][4]
