In mountainous regions such as Gangwon Province and Hamgyeong Province, storage containers were often made from readily available wood found in the surrounding area.

Among these, wooden kimchi jars were typically crafted from linden (basswood). The hollowed trunk of an old linden tree was used as the main body, while pine wood was used to form the base.

Gaps were sealed with elm leaves or clay to prevent liquid from leaking, allowing the container to be used effectively for storage.
