Study in a traditional house
Sarangchae, study room.

Sarangbang (사랑방, 舍廊房) is a room located in a Korean traditional house (hanok) which served as a man's room, used for studying, writing poetry, and leisure activities.[1][2] The Koreans created the sarangbang strictly following the Confucianism principles of the Joseon Dynasty.[1] In lower-class homes, the sarangbang is located across from the women's space (anbang), separated with a hall called a daecheong.[1] One of the characteristics of the sarangbang is that it usually has a separate study called a sarangchae. The sarangchae is forbidden to women and only men can enter it.[1]
