1923220274Taisho 12 1923. Over fifty black and white photographs annotated laid down in concertina style cloth covered photograph album 18 x 26.5cm most photographs measure 9.3 x 13.5cm nine measure 10 x 7cm. Some silvering of photographs but most are in very good condition. A fascinating concertina-folded album of high-quality photos dating from 1923 and showing Japanese military training exercises in northeastern Korea as well as scenes of everyday life in the surrounding region including the Ranam Cheongjin Hoeryong and Gando areas. Many of the photos appear to have been produced by a professional photographer but acquired by the soldier who has created this album who has added his own annotations based on personal experience. <br> <br>The first photo shows an inset portrait of a soldier named Takuuchi next to the flag of the Japanese Imperial Army's 75th Infantry Division. This is followed by a series of photos of Japanese colonial buildings in Korea including the military base of the 75th Infantry Base an overview of the city of Hoeryong on which the owner has placed a cross in ink marking the location of the recently contructed Hoeryong Shinto Shrine Heoryong's hospital and railway station and a street in the city centre an overview of Cheongjin and a panoramic overview of Ranam City also with the Ranam Shinto Shrine marked with a cross. The attention paid to these shrines which were crucial symbols of Japanese colonial rule emphasises the album creator's nationalist sentiment. There are two images of the landscape of the Tuman River and a photo of sacks of soy beans being unloaded in Gando. Other photos show scenes of everyday life including women washing clothes and grinding grain and two photos of a Korean wedding ceremony. A few of these photos including one of a village of thatched-roofed houses are in a smaller format than the images in the rest of the album and may have been taken by the album's owner himself. Twenty of the photos show 1923 training exercises conducted by the 75th Infantry Division in the Ranam area. These have also been annotated with the album owner's comments providing extra information about the content of the photos. The album concludes with two striking images of thick ice on a river probably the Tuman and of the Hoeryong Shinto Shrine in late evening. . hardcover

38009901Korea late 18th-early 19th century 1780-1810. Eight color gouache pastel tinted maps ca. 57.5 x 90.1 cm.contemporary re-backing very solid clean examples complete set of all provinces hand-painted gouache manuscripts. RARE & OBSCURE . . . . A RARE & COMPLETE SET OF ANTIQUARIAN MANUSCRIPT KOREAN . . . YI PERIOD PROVINCIAL MAPS . . "P'ALTO CHIDO" OR "EIGHT PROVINCES MAPS" . . . DELUXE ELEPHANT FOLIO SIZE SHEETS . . . HAND-COLORED GOUACHE PASTELS . This is a very RARE & COMPLETE set of eight Korean provincial manuscript maps. Drawn circa 1780-1810 by an unsigned Korean cartographer. These maps are of historical importance giving place names isolating the time frame. . Painted on very thin finely hand-made mulberry-fiber tissue paper contemporary re-backed with a stiff hand-made paper. Beautifully hand-painted & colored in gouache pastels. . The record shows several reliable verities of manuscript maps showing the eight ancient Korean provinces. . Commonly these maps had no title cartographer's name date or other critical bibliographic colophon data. This is a common theme with Korean manuscript maps. . Political divisions of Korea are by and large mostly stable making name comparisons easier. . PROBABLE MAP TITLES INCLUDE: . a. The "SINJUNG-TONGGUK-YOJI-SUNGNAM:" "EIGHT SEPARATE MAPS EACH SHOWING ONE COMPLETE PROVINCE OF THE EIGHT KOREAN PROVINCES similar in intention to the "P'ALTO CHIDO." . The eight provinces were established during the Chosen dynasty 1392-1910 alternately and commonly called the Yi dynasty. . The eight provinces are from the north to south: . 1. Hamgyong 2. P'yong'an 3. P'yongyang 4. Kangwon 5. Hwanghae 6. Kanghwa 7. Kyongsang 8. Cholla'ungch'ong . During the Sejo reign 1455-68 Yang Songji made the first "P'Alt-do "P'ALTO CHIDO" type maps of the eight provinces this type and style became the "standard" for future examples. There after his style and format were copied by others for centuries. . b. A second version and style of the above eight provinces maps is called "TONGGUK CHIDO: MAP OF THE EASTERN COUNTRY i.e. KOREA" showing a compressed northern frontier along Manchuria the characteristic "CHONG CH'OK" style. . c. A third similar map: "P'ALDO-CHONGDO: A SINGLE MAP SHOWING THE EIGHT PROVINCES OF KOREA." . These maps are pictorially beautiful and artistically drawn in detail. Graphics expressing a primitive naive folk charm depicts prominent geological landscape features. Mountain ranges hills forests in green streams/rivers blues political district seats distinctively painted cartouches box-like in various differing colors for each province. Roads paddy coastal shore line & islands in blue tints with other features nicely colored. . There are a large number of name throughout each map all written in Hanzi traditional Chinese characters called "Hanja" in Korean as was the common practice at that time for Koreans. There are no Hangul characters at all. The Hanja identify navigational directions names of surrounding ocean harbors beaches geographical names city towns villages mountains rivers roads and the like. . Each of the eight maps illustrates a complete single province. Within each of the various political divisions and boundaries outlined and named. . RARITY OF KOREAN ANTIQUITIES: Antiquarian Korean examples are sparse when compared to items of the same period in China and Japan. Korean works are less than 10% of those created elsewhere. . Fewer Korean items were made survived and preserved. The attrition rate: bad weather unstable ancient mud building structures fires natural disasters earthquakes war and other factors diminished the remaining examples. . Those the numbers that come to marked are steadily reduced while the value continues to appreciate. Many never return to market when acquired by institutions or private collectors who eventually donate to museums. . DATING THESE MAPS: These were mostly undated. . There are three possible methods of dating. . a. BY PLACE NAME: there are details in the reference books about county seat names being colored or put in various kinds of 'boxes' on the map depending on that according to the resources approximate dates can be derived. . b. PAPER TECHNOLOGY & FIBERS: Koreans have been using hand-made mulberry bark and fiber paper from the Zhenguan period AD 627-649 printing Buddhist sutras by woodblocks on similar kinds of paper. . These two technologies papermaking and woodblock printing was transmitted to Japan around 700 AD. . Since that time both Koreans & Japanese have utilized mulberry paper Washi in Japanese to woodblock print and paint a large variety of items including maps books and single page works. . By comparing the paper of these maps with known dated printed Japanese books a very close approximate date can be derived. . These Korean map papers are nearly identical to dated woodblock-printed Japanese examples we have. It is therefore highly possible these maps were painted on hand-made mulberry paper from circa 1780-1810 period. . In ancient times sheet size was limited to a small size then joined to other sheets to create a large size single sheet. These maps are of that format. See McCune below where he states the kind of paper used which matches our examples. . CONDITION: Per McCune we summarize: as usual these maps were folded several times from their creation time so they could be safely stored and carried in small 'book' format in covers with a tied string. See McCune below. . Being painted on very fine & thin hand-made mulberry paper most all examples were eventually re-backed. Ours as typical have period re-backing using the same character hand-made mulberry fiber paper of a thicker quality. . They are well preserved however nevertheless as usual there remains some old original wear at the folds the expected light water stains dustiness with other typical very minor flaws for an item of this grand size being 200 years old. These do not detract from the overall excellent impression and stunning appeal. . RARITY: . The complete set is RARE! The work is nicely executed in a firm hand with artistic value illustrating artistically hills mountains and other features of the map pictorially. It is not only a map but a work of art. Tastefully colored in subtle pastels nice representation of water rives and sea. . Such early and beautifully artistic examples seldom come to market. . A RARE AND FRESH EXAMPLE NEVER BEEN ON THE MARKET IN THE LAST 120 YEARS ! . PROVENANCE: These items were acquired from a former missionary's estate who was stationed in Korea from circa 1900-1930's. They have been in this private collection since and have never been on the market. . Color scans are posted to our website. . REFERENCES: .
