Mohammad Sadeghi, known as Hossein Kamal, has been weaving handmade saddlebags (Korjin) in a traditional way fromhis youth on. Hossein Kamal now lives in Jarquyeh village. As he claimed, lots of people in the village had been busy in making such traditional handicrafts, but today only three of them keep on working in this field. He is busy twelve hours a day, and could only weave three Korjins a day. Despite a lot of labor, weaving Korjin does not have any economic benefits. This job is a victim of industry and is going to vanish like many other traditional jobs consequently.
