  • Wood Identification of Historical Architecture in Korea by Synchrotron X-Ray Microtomography-Based Three-Dimensional Microstructural Imaging1
    J. Korean Wood Sci. Technol. 2020, 48(3): 283~290 pISSN: 1017-0715 eISSN: 2233-7180 https://doi.org/10.5658/WOOD.2020.48.3.283 Short Note Wood Identification of Historical Architecture in Korea by Synchrotron X-ray Microtomography-Based Three-Dimensional Microstructural Imaging1 Sung-Wook HWANG2⋅Suyako TAZURU2⋅Junji SUGIYAMA 2,3,† ABSTRACT1) For visual inspection-based wood identification, optical microscopy techniques typically require a relatively large sample size, and a scanning electron microscope requires a clean surface. These novel techniques experience limitations for objects with highly limited sampling capabilities such as important and registered wooden cultural properties. Synchrotron X-ray microtomography (SR-µCT) has been suggested as an effective alternative to avoid such limitations and various other imaging issues. In this study, four pieces of wood fragments from wooden members used in the Manseru pavilion of Bongjeongsa temple in Andong, Korea, wereused for identification. Three-dimensional microstructural images were reconstructed from these small wood samples using SR-µCT at SPring-8. From the analysis of the reconstructed images, the samples were identified as Zelkova serrata, Quercus sect. Cerris, and Pinus koraiensis. The images displayed sufficient spatial resolution to clearly observe the anatomical features of each species. In addition, the three-dimensional imaging allowed unlimited image processing.

After this traumatic loss, the building quickly emerged among the people of the Korean diaspora in the United States as a symbol of a sovereignty that should be regained by any means. They expressed their strong desire for independence by adding a large Korean national flag to a Korean legation postcard they produced during the Japanese colonial era (shown on the front cover). On May 22, 2018 the national flag was in reality hoisted from the roof of the newly restored Korean legation building (back cover).

Selection of Components It is understood that the nominated components comprise a sample of seven monasteries, that typologically characterise Korea's Buddhist mountain temples, which are the 'most outstanding examples', and are afforded the highest level of national protection. It is also understood that these mountain monasteries were able to survive historical periods when many other monasteries located throughout Korea were closed. ICOMOS notes that there are 952 Buddhist temples in Korea, of which 82% are located in mountain areas (p. 128); and that 25 were subject to further comparative study in order to select the seven serial components. While Table 3.1 clearly indicates some parameters for the selection of the seven components, these descriptive characteristics are not explicitly linked to the proposed criteria for Outstanding Universal Value.

Celebrated for their architectural harmony with the natural environment, traditional Korean houses fully consider the climate and topograpy of the Korean Peninsula. All across the country there are hanok surviving from hundreds of years ago and others being carefully restored based on historical documentation. Traditional Korean houses sometimes feature soseul daemun, or “lofty gates,” which were reserved for buildings of high status. Rising above the flanking walls, a lofty gate with a raised roof reflected the authority of a building’s occupant. This explains its widespread adoption as a type of gate for royal palaces. The front cover displays Honggyeongmun, a gate in Gyeongbokgung Palace that was restored to its present appearance in 2005. The image on the back is from the installation artwork Reflection by Suh Do-ho. It was inspired by the lofty gate of his childhood home, which in turn was designed after Yeongyeongdang Hall in Changdeokgung Palace. Suh creates modern artworks drawing upon hanok, which represents to him both his Korean identity and worldview and a miniature microcosm that sheltered him during a critical period of his life.
