Description
Changgyong Palace (Changgyeonggung) in Seoul — one of the Five Grand Palaces of the Joseon dynasty — was the subject of Korean travels Yoshida undertook in 1937. The palace's distinctive green-roofed buildings and formal gardens are rendered in the crisp light characteristic of his architectural subjects, the Korean court style compared implicitly with the Japanese castle and temple subjects he depicted elsewhere. The print reflects the complex cultural and political dimensions of Japanese artists working in colonial Korea.
