- Title:
- Throne in Injeongjeon, Changdeokgung palace
- Caption / Description:
-
Inside the throne hall of Injeongjeon, in Changdeokgung palace, Seoul, South Korea. Injeongjeon was originally built in 1405, when Changdeokgung was first constructed, however the current building dates from 1804. In 1908 the building was modified to a more western style, with the floor being covered with wooden floorboards. Western style lighting, curtains and glass windows were also installed. The large and elevated traditional Korean throne, shown here, was removed and replaced with a much smaller western style throne.
Although the lighting and flooring has been kept in place since the end of the Japanese colonial period, the traditional throne has now been restored. Behind the throne is Irworobongdo, a painting that indicates the royal authority of the king. The painting has a symmetrical design, and depicts the sun on the right, the moon on the left, 5 mountain peaks with 2 waterfalls, and 2 pine trees on either side.
