Today's bookstore find is a gorgeously illustrated edition of #BangHallimJeon for younger readers. It's a #Joseon era novel about the loving #asexual marriage between a fiercely independent #queer woman and her heroic female husband, who in current terms could be one or more of #transmasc, crossdressing woman, stone butch, he/him #lesbian, etc. (Depending on how you understand the husband's gender, the subtitle on the cover may come across as misgendering.) I love the two mains and their relationship to bits, and it was a treat to find such a pretty edition for teen readers complete with study guide and commentary! #amReading #Korea #queerFiction

"Painting of the Sun, Moon, and Five Peaks," Unknown Korean Artist, 19th or early 20th Centuries.

The product of an unknown artist from Korea's Joseon Dynasty, this painting is also known as a Irworobongdo, and normally was a folding screen that stood behind the Emperor's throne, as a symbol of his majesty and power. The actual meaning of the symbolism here is forgotten and can only be guessed at. It's worth noting that the concept of five peaks has long been important to the royal houses of Korea.

Many of these were produced in the heyday of the Joseon Dynasty, but today only about 20 are extant, none of which are signed. While frequently done as multipanel folding screens, this particular example is done as a single panel. Versions of this always had the sun, moon, and five peaks, but could vary in details, color scheme, and arrangement.

From the National Palace Museum of Korea, Seoul.

Losing Korea
Although Japan had seemingly won influence over Korea as a war prize from the Chinese, Joseon itself was still an independent state. Because of the actions of one inexperienced Japanese diplomat, that independence was about to be asserted in an undeniable way.

Until his death, he was a key political figure of late-Joseon Korea. The Daewongun is remembered both for the wide-ranging reforms that he attempted during his regency, as well as for what was described by historian ...

@cs As women had no rights in the #joseon period (just like in TX), how would you not expect them to dress as men to make a living?

Tumult and Turnover in Joseon
