- Description:
- The inscription written in Chinese characters show 'Ku hwangsong Kyongbokkung Sogyonjon' which means a study hall at C. This two-story building probably is a 'Chuhapru' (Chuhap Pavilion) which was built during the final years of King 'Yongjo' (1724-1776). The lower floor was used as the royal library while the top floor provided a place for entertainments and feasts. It is not known who the distinguished genetlemen (what appears to be Japanese flanked by two Korean) on the lower balcony are. Source: Adams, Edward B.
