Japanese-style House in Sinpung-dong, Gimje

Built in 1928, this building was the residence of the manager of a Japanese-owned farm in the Gimje area. It follows the typical plan of a Japanese-style house, with a central corridor linking each room, and shows refined techniques such as triple-layered windows and doors, locking devices fitted to the shutters, and storage cabinets built into the exterior window frames. The house gives a sense of the life of the farm manager who lived here during the Japanese colonial period, while also testifying to the history of land dispossession carried out under Japanese rule.
