Emblemas / EmblemsThe whole of Busan inside a medallion: Haedong Yonggungsa temple clinging to the rocks among the pines, the bay with the Haeundae towers and the Gwangan Bridge crossing it end to end, a white lighthouse on the stones and the sun showing between the skyscrapers. Below, 부산 in gold letters over the waves, and a camellia, the city flower. It is 198 x 197 stitches in 18 colors, about 36 by 36 centimetres on 14-count.
