end of October.

When I entered the Bukchon Cultural Center, the small props found in the hanok and the materials used in the hanok had a subtle charm. There is no notice saying [Do not enter], so there is a place to take off your shoes neatly and take a break, so it was a place I was grateful for.

When it rains, the dripping gutter is installed under the urn so that the water flowing down the eaves gathers and falls in one place.

We are already heading towards the end of November, when the weather forecast has a big impact on whether to layer up clothes in case the occasional rain will drop the temperature, or whether to wear thick winter clothes waiting in the closet.

This is a space that conveys the sincerity completed by finely embroidering the peony, which symbolizes happiness and wealth and glory, and the shape of the beoseon decoration hanging on the window with a tassel attached to it. has been

The door of the place that was used as the main house was left wide open so that you can easily enter the interior, and it is possible to ventilate the room for a long-lasting quarantine.

A hanok can be made more polished and stylish only when people visit it. In addition, next year will mark the 20th anniversary of the change in use of the house to the Bukchon Cultural Center.

The visitor shelter is open from 10 am to 5 pm on weekdays. (until 4pm on weekends)

In autumn, a special notice is attached to the persimmon tree, and the content is a sweet warning.

Persimmons may fall off the tree.

Please pass carefully.

Jongno-gu Park Nosu Art Museum

(Okin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul)

Park Nosu Art Museum, which I visited during the Jongno Hanbok Festival last month. The autumn weather is nice, and the steps are light.

There is also a sense of humor in this art museum.

Does it look a little different? A little elongated.

It seems to be a daebong

You have to wait for about a week after picking persimmons to eat delicious daebong persimmons, but it is difficult to wait ten nights.

Goldfish are cooked in a hemispherical stone bowl that retains the roughness of the stone.

It was a lovely autumn afternoon, when the warm sunlight permeated the stagnant water.

Does the wind play a game of 'Mugunghwa has bloomed'?

In the afternoon when the wind had stopped, we also visited the exhibition commemorating the 8th anniversary of the Jongno-gu Park Nosu Art Museum.

And I tried to remember for a long time the inside of the studio of the second-floor male artist Park No-soo and the small scenery outside the window.

At the back of the building is a staircase that leads up to the hill, followed by a path paved with palm mats. The view of Jongno spreading from the height that went beyond the roof and the Seoul Tower in Namsan in the distance came into my view.

The <Painter's Memoir> exhibition is open until Sunday, August 28, 2022. Admission is 3,000 won.

Open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm

Last admission at 5:30 // Closed on every Monday, January 1, Lunar New Year's Day, Chuseok
