Dynasty Korea Mini Seoul Joseon


EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910s, showcases Keegi Gate, also known as Changuimun or Jahamun Gate, located in Seoul, South Korea. During the Joseon Dynasty, this magnificent gate was one of the four mini gates that encircled the castle town of Seoul, serving as an essential defensive structure. The gate's intricate design is a testament to the architectural prowess of the Joseon Dynasty. The wooden gate, with its distinctive red and black color palette, features a series of intricate carvings and decorative elements. One of the most striking features of Keegi Gate is the array of wooden chickens adorning its rafters. This symbolic decoration is believed to have served as a protective charm against evil spirits. As you step back in time, imagine the bustling activity that once surrounded this gate. Traders, travelers, and soldiers would have passed through its gates, exchanging goods, stories, and news. The gate would have been a vital hub of communication and commerce, connecting the castle town of Seoul to the rest of the kingdom. Despite the passage of time, Keegi Gate remains a cherished piece of Korean history. Its enduring beauty and significance continue to draw visitors from around the world, who come to marvel at this architectural masterpiece and pay homage to the rich cultural heritage of Korea.
