EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Korean fortune teller, or Mudang, intently concentrates as he reads the signs of the ancient Chinese divination text, the I-Ching, for a woman on a bustling street in Korea around the year 1904. The image captures a moment in history when traditional practices continued to thrive amidst the modernization and westernization that was beginning to take hold in the country. The Mudang, a master of the I-Ching, sits cross-legged on a mat spread out on the pavement. He holds a set of yarrow stalks or coins in his hands, which he uses to answer the woman's questions about her future. The woman, dressed in traditional Hanbok, leans forward, her expression a mixture of curiosity and apprehension, as she listens intently to the fortuneteller's words. The background of the photograph is filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of the busy street. People go about their daily business, some stopping to watch the fortune telling session, while others hurry past. The scene is a snapshot of life in Korea during a time of great change, when traditional beliefs and practices continued to play an important role in the lives of many. The I-Ching, also known as the Book of Changes, has been used for divination in China and Korea for over 3,000 years. The text consists of 64 hexagrams, each with its own interpretation, and is believed to provide guidance and insight into the future. The practice of fortune telling using the I-Ching is still popular in Korea today, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into its history and cultural significance.
