Eosumun gate, Changdeokgung palace
Caption / Description:

Eosumun gate in Changdeokgung palace, Seoul, South Korea. The name of Eosumun (魚水門) was to remind the king that just as a fish cannot survive without water, the king depends on his officials. Beyond Eosumun is a large two-storied building, which housed Gyujanggak, the royal library on the first floor, and Juhamnu, a reading room on the second floor.
