Today Part 2 of the new series - and already the first two masterpieces to show what I meant by the particular nature of those people that deal with Korean tradition.

But read for yourself:

Choi Gi-yeong

.

The site of the Special Education Centre for Intangible Cultural Property in the wood work in the city Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province. Here we met Mr. Choe Gi-yeong, whose artistic approach firm and steadfast like a Baeheullim column (pillar) is. "Can flow into the soul and build a house, the 1000 year survived "master carpenter Choe Gi-yeong (important intangible cultural asset No. 74, keeper of the art of carpentry)

.
"woolen you probably know about what's Hanok," asks Mr. Choe without warning with a suspicious look and it shows a stubbornness and a master appropriate bulkiness. Immediately when we ask about the good points of hanok, he gets going, "So you reporters to write nice. Hanok are the world's best houses. A house built according to geomancy provides protection from light rain in the spring, rain in summer, typhoons in the fall and cold winds in winter. Everything about the angle of the roof height the columns and the Maru is up to the width of the windows and doors, calculated scientifically and philosophically, to let it go the residents well. The pine, the resin even wohltut when it cooks and drinks and the Yellow Earth, which is also called "Earth to life." - What is built so that must be healthy for the people "As the old folk song gushes his rhythm his story just like a clear mountain stream. If you gently in the balance of yin and yang-maintaining Hanok lives, it could hold 1,000 years.

.

The Nirvana Hall of Bongjeong temple from the late Goryeo Dynasty proves this - it is more than to take over 1300 years alt.Die responsibility to build such a great hanok, that is the task of a master carpenter. A master carpenter needs to understand a house to match the soil, the climatic environment and culture to analyze and build. Just as the country's major typhoons China, the moist and plagued by earthquakes and mining-rich Japan and Korea have produced close different types of houses. Sometimes, however, decide the period and not the carpenter. Just as the hanok of over 100 years ago are evidence of perfection and have changed the hanok the Japanese colonial period and any built sloppily. Choe sees our era as the best history in order to build grandiose hanok, as modern Features are developed and all goods are available in abundance. This belief reflects his journey to Canada, where he went in search of good wood. After his suspicions had subsided and at the end of a long conversation, he wrote us his name written in Chinese characters elaborate as a gift for the journey. This "notepad" should remind us that he would throw our whole company into East Sea, if we were writing something false over hanok.

Choe is currently next to the training center in Namyangju also in the project to the resurrection of Baekje and the bridge over Woljeonggyo in Gyeongju. Not only Intangible Cultural He is a visiting professor at Dongguk University, he teaches and recently he appeared in a TV commercial, investment firm, where he tried his credo bring over "a single connection will decide over 1000 years." He also currently leads the conservation measures mentioned in the hall Bongjeong Nirvana Temple, the shrine for by Taejo Wanggeon and Ihwa Hakdang and oversees the construction of the temple in the mountains Sangwon Odaesan.

Sin Eung-su

We met Mr Sin Eung-su at the construction site Restoration of the Gyeongbokgung Palace. He says there are no more joyful feeling than the right blade for the rooftops to find. He currently divides his time between Seoul and Gangneung, so the wood employed for the reconstruction of Gwanghwa gate to process and dry. He says he now for 17 years called the Gyeongbokgung Palace, his home and live here. The orange sweater and the ivory zip wind jacket are both from Lansmere.

"Hanok is a house that consists of tens of thousands of sculptures" master carpenter Sin Eung-su (important intangible cultural asset No. 74, keeper of the art of carpentry)
end of last November was a 150-year-old 20 meters high and the diameter of 94cm wide pine under the guidance of Master Sin like. She was then taken to Gangneung, where it was processed. If diesr process is completed, it will be incorporated as pillars of the thickest in the reconstruction of the Gwanghwa Gate in Gyeongbokgung Palace. Just as in this example assumes Sin only wood that is aged between 25 and 300 years.

It focuses on the work in the reconstruction of traditional venues. But while he dismantles and also hanok. The hanok that he builds are larger than those in Bukchon and follow through and by the traditional design. The representative example is the Hoam estate in Yongin. A hanok, which was at about 760m ² built next to the Hoam Art Museum as a country house with a beautiful traditional garden for the former CEO Yi Byeong-cheol built.

When very young he learned the trade, he worked day and night for almost 3 years and broke the planing only for meals. He says at that time were all so learned. His first project was the reconstruction of Jangan-gate in the fortress of Suwon, where he took his first steps as chief construction supervisor. Since then he has worked from dawn until the sun goes down and he thereby recognize the strokes can no longer without a break through. For over 30 years, he is lost in traditional architecture. "Hanok to build with time" Each piece a work of art for himself and a home is completed, by matching thousands, even tens of thousands of art works. " A carpenter is someone who worked wood. Therefore, it is not one of them who had not a desire for good wood. "There is no better moment than when the curved roof line is visible. Indeed, it is not an easy job and a nice natural curve to get added, because it is not made by human hands, but you must find a suitable timber, the shape of this nature. Although the technology is so far advanced that you can even edit the rafters with machine, but the hand of man doh is unsurpassed. The Korean Woods, who spent their time with him, were shipped to New York recently. Where they present on a 356 m ² of land, the traditional architecture in Korea. Sin out there to master the Korean carpenters and assumes the center of the world, the role of a missionary in terms of traditional Korean architecture.
