Korean Gardens by Your Side

New Books   Korean Gardens by Your Side Learning the aesthetics of reflection from Korean gardens   2025.11.03                 When we think of a garden, we often imagine a well-tended flower bed or a space where trees are neatly planted. However, only by stepping outside that narrow frame can we truly begin to encounter the diverse faces of the Korean garden. A garden is not just a space to be cultivated - it is where the human heart resides. Its meaning changes with the mind of the person who tends it and the generational background.   “Within a garden lie traces of the heart that reach beyond mere scenery.” - from the book   Just as we can understand why Yoon Seon-Do, disheartened by the world that failed to recognize him, built a lavish garden at Seyeonjeong on Bogildo Island, and how the small gate and modest pond of Toegye Yi Hwang’s Dosan ...

Warm Hope in a Cold City

Book Trip   [Into the Book ⑧] Warm Hope in a Cold City Jongno-gu, Seoul: What’s still with us today   2024.03.11   One Hundred Shadows       As I thought Mujae was somehow looking shady when he said, “Don’t follow shadows,” I strained my eyes and looked again, and there was a sunshower falling like a spider’s web.     Hwang Jung-Eun’s first full-length novel, One Hundred Shadows (Changbi), is the story of Eunkyo and Mujae, two characters working in an electronics store in the center of the city. The cold cityscape and the old, desolate electronics mall are the backdrop of the novel, but the two protagonists’ youthful love story is what makes this novel so appealing, with just the right amount of heaviness and lightness. Also, the story of “shadows” in the title is not to be missed - the unrealistic occurrence of shadows rising up on their own is v...
