Unhyeongung Collection Unhyeongung Collection 2003 Director’s Message The collection of the Seoul Museum of History consists of items donated by individuals from Seoul and the other parts of the country, items obtained through regular acquisition activities, and the relics from Unhyeongung Palace, which are revealed to the public in this catalogue. Donated relics and acquisitions have been introduced to the public and related specialists through the standing exhibition, special exhibitions, and general exhibitions. The Unhyeongung relics, however, are being presnted for the first time. This catalogue, Unhyeongung Palace Relics I, is the second published by the Seoul Museum of History on relics in its collection following Korean Wood Furniture , which was published in 2002. Sharing information on its collection not only with related specialists but also members of the general public is one part of the museum’s efforts to make itself a relevant part of the lives of the citizens. Though Unhyeongung is diminished in comparison to its heyday, many major buildings still remain, including Norakdang, Noandang, and Irodang. The palace was the private residence of the Prince Regent Heungseon Daewongun and the place where his son Gojong was born and raised till the age of 12 when he ascended the throne. In total it served as the home for five generations of royal family members including Yi Jae-myeon, Yi Jun-yong, Yi Woo, and Yi Cheong, and thus has an important place in the modern history of Korea. The Seoul Metropolitan Government acquired the Unhyeongung relics in 1993 when it purchased the palace, and in 1998 it transferred management of the relics to the Seoul Museum of History. Since then the relics have been sorted and evaluated according to category, and this catalogue on Unhyeongung household relics is the result of such research activities. The relics featured include traditional furniture, interior fixtures, imported chairs, and travel goods, all bearing the traces of those who used them. There are few extant relics left from the period of enlightenment (late 19th to early 20th century; period of transition from old to modern Korea) and in this respect the household relics of Unhyeongung are important items in understanding the transition between traditional Korean style and modern Korean style. Finally, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Prof. Kim Samdaeja who took great care in selecting the items to be included in this catalogue and writing the annotation, and to the staff of collection Management Department who worked so hard in publishing this catalogue together.

Park Chan-ju, wife of Yi Woo and mistress of the palace, had received a modern residence of the Prince Regent Heungseon Daewongun and the place where his son King Gojong education and was part of an association called Suseonhwe which was composed of women was born and raised till the age of 12. Right after Gojong ascended the throne, the palace was leaders in society. Through this group she received financial support from many acquaintances expanded and it served as the home for five generations of the royal family: Daewongun, Yi Jae- and as a show of gratitude for their support she gave away pieces of the palace furniture, as is myeon (Daewongun’s eldest son), Yi Jun-yong (Yi Jae-myeon’s eldest son), and Yi Woo (King surmised from the two opulent and finely made articles of lacquered furniture with inlaid Uichin’s son, adopted by Yi Jun-yong). In 1993 the palace was acquired by the Seoul mother-of-pearl that were donated to the National Folk Museum. According to the donor family, Metropolitan Government and was restored, but on a diminished scale. the lacquered stacked cabinet (nong) with inlaid mother-of-pearl and lacquered whatnot As to the origin of the name Unhyeongung, Gojong’s residence before ascending the throne (sabangtakja) with inlaid mother-of-pearl were each part of a pair belonging to Unhyeongung was located near Seoungwan (The government office in charge of matters related to astronomy, and had been given to a woman named Mrs. Wadaei. Afterwards, Mrs. Wadaei passed them geography etc.) which overlooked a valley named Unhyeon. Gojong’s home was originally on a down to her eldest daughter (Namgung Ok-gang) who, in memory of her mother who had similar scale to a commoner’s home, but the year after Gojong became king, the royal court always taken great care in caring for the two items, donated them to the museum. provided funds for the purchase of homes in the nearby area. Then numerous buildings were The household fixtures of Unhyeongung were diverse, ranging from the implements used by constructed within the walls which stretched for several miles, and four gates were constructed. A ordinary people and royal court implements from the late Joseon Dynasty, implements from direct route to Changdeokgung Palace was created and Unhyeongung thus gained the grand and Ching China, chairs from a university library in the United States, furniture from the period of imposing appearance of a palace. Court ladies were dispatched to Unhyeongung and many enlightenment, and travel bags, and they give us a glimpse at life at that time and the activities of fixtures from the palace were also supplied here. the Unhyeongung family. Daewongun lived in several places during his lifetime besides Unhyeongung. They include The wooden handicrafts are especially important as they reflect the turbulence of Korea and Asodang in Gongdeogni, which later became the site of his tomb, Seokpajeong in Buam-dong, Korean life at the end of the 19th century and in addition show the changes in wooden handicraft which has been designated Important Tangible Cultural Property No. 26 by the Seoul techniques. Metropolitan Government, and Godeungol, a retreat in Yangju-gun, where Daewongun lived in In the fever for antique collection that in the 1960s, many people collected wooden handicrafts isolation after being ousted from power. Though it is not possible to know the scale of these including furniture items, but they did not show great interest in relics from the period of buildings or the number of people who lived in them at the time, among the Unhyeongung relics enlightenment (late 19th to early 20th century; period of transition from old to modern Korea) so that were donated to the city of Seoul there are some with a brush and ink inscription reading there are very few items from this period existing either in private collections or in museums. In “Gongdeogni,” so it seems that the relics include items from all four residences. effect, it seems as if the link between traditional furniture and modern Korean furniture is However, the Unhyeongung relics donated to the city of Seoul are not all the household missing. Therefore, it is hoped that the enlightenment period pieces from Unhyeongung will fixtures from the four residences. After liberation of the country in 1945 Unhyeongung fell upon serve to fill in that gap. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1. Book cabinet with four horizontal sections 20 21 2. 3.

  • Tradition and Commerce in Cultural Districts
    Tradition and Commerce in Cultural Districts: A Case Study of Insadong In Seoul, Korea by Jinsun Song A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Geography – Tourism Policy and Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2011 © Jinsun Song 2011 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Cultural clusters with an agglomeration of heritage and historic assets represent national or local history, culture and tradition. Hence, they often become distinctive urban tourism resources supplying multifunctional places for tourists to visit and enjoy. However, the designation of a cultural district by government is not merely a strategy for the preservation of cultural assets and tourism development because a variety of stakeholders, with divergent goals and objectives, are usually involved in the process of converting cultural resources into marketable products. The number of tourists to Insadong, a representative traditional cultural district in Seoul, Korea, has increased rapidly in the last decades with many issues and problems. Insadong is a place where Koreans and foreigners alike experience Korean tradition and it is a unique area where the atmosphere combines both the historical and modern in the centre of the city. The area is also multi-functional, offering a mix of history, entertainment, cuisine, shopping etc. for a mixed clientele. This area has a long history as a cultural business district which was organically generated, but numerous issues and changes have occurred in relation to the commercial development and policy of government.

  • The Hangul Characters
    The Korean language is classified as a member of the Ural-Altaic family (other members of this family include the Mongolian, Finnish, and Hungarian languages.) Until the early 1400s, most documents were written in classical Chinese characters (known in Korean as Hanja). As the idiographs are difficult to learn, only the educated people could read and write. King Sejong, the 4th ruler of the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910), set up a special committee of scholars in 1443 to create a new writing system specifically suited to the Korean language. The result was Hangul (meaning 'the one script'). It originally contained 28 symbols, although 4 have dropped out of use. The alphabet has 10 vowels and 14 consonants. The consonants represent the simplified outlines of the parts of the mouth and tongue used to pronounce them. The vowels are associated with elements of the philosophy of the Book of Changes. In 1994, Discovery magazine described Hangul as the most logical language writing system in the world. The simplicity of Hangul led Korea to become one of the most literate countries in the world. U.S. novelist Pearl Buck said that Hangul is the simplest writing system in the world and likenedKing Sejong to Leonardo da Vinci. Even though Hangul is a system of phonetic symbols, it is categorized as new level of feature system, the first and the only in the world. On Oct. 1, 1997, UNESCO designated Hunminjeongeum as world archive property. Koreans commemorate the creation of Hangul each year on October 9. The Hangul Characters Before you begin learning the language, you should take some time to practice writing Hangul.

  • An Overview of Korean Wooden Architecture1
    An Overview of Korean wooden architecture1 Plenary speech by Architect CHO, In-Souk I. Opening remarks One of the challenges we face today in architectural design is to find a globally sustainable design approach. Yet another challenge, when considering the complexity of the rich heritage of Asia and its local wisdom, would be how to differentiate it from other places on earth. The topic of today’s sub- theme is how these two challenges are incorporated or not in the architecture of the region. Besides globalization in general, urbanization and curbing climate change seem to be the two global megatrends that will have the greatest impact on our future. Both will also play an extremely important role in architectural design. The principal function of a house was protection against the weather. The earlier forms of human habitats were crude structures without significant distinguishing characteristics. As human lifestyles diversified and the functions of shelters expanded to accommodate individual and social needs and activities, houses began to assume national, regional and individual characteristics. The natural environment, along with such cultural elements as people’s lifestyles and customs, also played an important role in the evolution of architectural styles. Korean houses, as domestic architecture does in all cultures, showcased people’s everyday activities as well as their history and culture. This presentation will focus on the Korean Perspective regarding the dimensions of a sustainable design approach, examining the Korean traditional house of wooden structure:2 hanok. II. Understanding hanok (Grammar of Hanok) Common considerations incorporated into the design works to be elaborated on later are as follows: careful survey of site condition and location; proper adoption of hierarchy of buildings and courtyards; 1 This is a part of the presentation to “the 15th Asian Congress of Architects” introducing my own design works under the title <Designing Hanok, the Korean Organic House: contemporary Challenges> in Bali, Indonesia October 29.

Taking a transnational approach, the dissertation looks at how the knowledge on colonized Korea was constructed by multiple national agents—namely Japanese colonial scholars, American missionaries and their children, and Korean nationalist intellectuals—and how their knowledge on Korea, despite their different ii political purposes, was compatible with and influenced by each other. It also takes a fresh perspective in looking at Korean Studies in the U.S., which has been regarded as the product of Cold War politics during the postwar period, by tracing the earlier influence of prewar knowledge which reflected colonial scholarship.

Pursuit of a sustainable tourism policy by connecting historical sites and ancient conventions in Seoul KyuChull Lee Graduate ScHool, Global Culture & Contents, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Seoul, Republic of Korea JongOh Lee Graduate ScHool, Global Culture & Contents, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Seoul, Republic of Korea ABSTRACT Gyeongbokgung Palace is the most visited historical site in Seoul. With Gyeongbokgung Palace in the middle, Jongmyo Shrine is located to the left on Jongno 5-ga and Sajikdan Altar to the right in Sajik-dong. Currently, two events take place here—changing of the guards at Gyeongbokgung Palace and a memorial rite at Jongmyo Shrine—buttheyare conducted separately, whichindicates the lack of focus in explaining the connection between Seoul’s historical sites and history. Historical content that can be used to address this includes the procession of the king of Joseon and jikso activities by Joseon’s people. Jiksois a way to appeal directly to the king instead of a state agency about the people’s problems. The king’s ceremonial walk from the palace can be linked to Jongmyo Shrine, Sajikdan Altar, and the Cheonggyecheon Stream,Joseon’s busiest areas. Moreover, historical scenes of communication between the king and people can be recreated in spaces between the palace, Jongmyo Shrine, Sajikdan Altar, and Cheonggyecheon.
