Yasujeong Pavilion

Built around 1900 as a jaesil (a house for holding ancestral rites) for the Jin family, Yasujeong is a building in a mixed Korean-Japanese style. When first built it measured five kan (bays) across the front and one and a half kan to the side, but the entire rear section was later extended by half a kan, giving the building a double-depth, layered form. The floor is laid with long wooden boards, with red brick stacked beneath it, and glass windowpanes were used. The ceiling, too, is finished as a coffered "well ceiling" close to the Japanese style. The building shows a new trend in architectural style from the early 20th century, illustrating well how a traditional form changed under the influence of Japanese architecture.
