Museum Curator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Museum Curator’s Pick   2023.02.20     Westerners who visited “Joseon (the previous name of Korea)” in the 19th century described the country as the “Hermit Kingdom” or the “Land of Morning Calm.” Since that was how Joseon was depicted by foreigners, a third party, I just thought so, too. However, was Joseon, a dynasty that lasted for as long as 500 years, nothing but a reclusive and silent country? Landscape of Joseon’s Backstreet (Purunyoksa) by Kang Myung-Kwan is filled with content that would be exciting for those who usually get overwhelmed and bored by the word “history.” I used to know Joseon as a country dominated by strong Confucian culture and noble seonbi (scholars), but I wondered what made the author so eager to depict the landscape of the kingdom’s alleys.

“Trend Forecasters” Dominate Bookstores in Korea

Topic   “Trend Forecasters” Dominate Bookstores in Korea   2022.12.05   When the new year is just around the corner, something unique happens in bookstores in Korea ? they all put out various “trend books” that provide predictions for the new year on the most conspicuous shelves they have. The consumers who are curious about what will happen in the new year ? or even tomorrow ? all have their eyes focused on those books.

About 130 old bookstores are lined up, and bookstores ? both big franchises and independents ? can be easily found in every alley. Old bookstores on the first floor set out a little table in front of them every morning to display books, and the alleys are soon crowded with people looking to buy books. This place has many publishing houses as well. People say Jinbocho has become famous as a hub for bookstores because there have been many educational institutions in the area since the 1600s. In addition, many prominent universities still exist in this region. As such, Jinbocho is a town of 100-year-old bookstores and publishing houses.I myself am writing books, running a bookstore, and working as a book broker in this town where writers, producers, and readers all naturally gather around....
