Summary edit

Description

Collection: Willard Dickerman Straight and Early U.S.-Korea Diplomatic Relations, Cornell University Library

Title: [Japanese army at the main get of Toksu Palace, Taeanmun]

Date: ca. 1904

Place: Asia: South Korea; Seoul

Type: Photographs

Description: The main gate of 'Toksugung' (Palace of Virtuous Long Life), 'Taeanmun'. Obviously, a dignitary (perhaps the king of Korea himself) is just being carried into the city in the palanquin to the left. The carriers of the palanquin are noticeably Korean. There is a Japanese band in the background, and Japanese troops are at attention. Originally named 'Taeanmun', this main gate to the palace faced south. Later, it was moved to face the east and burnt down in 1904. Rebuilt in 1906, its name was changed to 'Taehanmun'. The three Chinese characters for 'Taehanmun' were written by Nam Chongchol, the Mayor of Seoul. Source: www.lifeinkorea.com/Travel2/65 (viewed May 9, 2003)
