Artist's Comments

My most favorite place in Korea. They've begun restoring the entire palace a few years ago, aiming to replace the 60%+ buildings burned during the Japanese Imperial Occupation. They vowed not to use modern building techniques for restoration. This building was the first to be restored.

This is the gate in between the Main Palace Hall and the Main gate. It was burned and torn down by the Japanese to hide the Korean royalty from the general public. On it they built a gigantic government building, aimed at hurting the pride of the koreans by shielding their emperor from view.

I took this in August of 2005. it was a beautiful restoration.
