What is Banjja yuji ?
Follow the explanation is..
Bangjja Yugi(Korean Bronzeware) is made by a method wherein an alloy of copper and tin, in the ratio of 78 parts to 22, is pounded and hit repeatedly by several people with hammers in hand to draw it out thinly to form a shape. Major items of Bangjja Yugi include musical instruments, utensils and other items for religious services, tableware and living goods. Recently teaspoons, knives and forks have also been made by Bangjja Yugi with the change of lifestyle.
Bangjja, also known as yugi, is a korean type of hand-forged bronzeware. A complete set of bangjja includes dishes, bowls, spoons and chopsticks. The main difference between Korean bronzeware or Banjja from other bronzeware is the alloy ratio of copper to tin. The Bangjja contains much more tin than other bronzewares (Cu:Sn = 78:22 as volume) while the normal ratio of tin to copper is 1/9. Due to this compositional difference, bangjja (unlike other kinds of bronzeware) can be sterilized. For this reason, it has historically been used as tableware for the royal families of Korea. Bangjja is used for the traditional presentation of korean royal cusine.

In this time, most people visiting hometown, making traditional food and perform a religious service. So when perform the religious service, korean use the Bangjja dishes.
My family also has the dishes, cause the same reason.
The Bangjja is one of great dishes ever, cause there's nontoxic and odorless.
That's why the dishes r expensive and keeping also a little difficult, it must clean often, otherwise turn the color.
