It is eye-catching compared to the surrounding wooden buildings. by Lee, Sangbae Korea Culture News Incheon Open Port Museum was built to be used as Incheon branch of the first Japanese bank with a magnificent exterior. In the past, this western-style stone housing was particularly remarkable among the small Japanese-style housing. This Incheon branch of the first Japanese bank was made for plun- dering gold found in Korea and it was also used for customs duties when the merchants entering the Incheon Port. In 1905, it was dedicated to the currency reform which played almost same role as Korea's central bank at the same time. Of course Korean merchants and the bank in the past were against to defend our county's share but it wasn't always enough to overwhelm the Japanese at the time.
