Letter c. 1874

Editor: This is a letter by Yi Ha-eung, also known as Taewongun. It's undated and the brushstrokes feel so alive! What do you see in this piece? Curator: It whispers secrets of a bygone era, doesn’t it? The vibrant inks bleed stories of longing and resilience. I wonder, can you sense the weight of history pressing down on those delicate characters? Editor: I think I can. It makes me want to decipher it all! Curator: Exactly! And perhaps, in doing so, we might better understand not just the letter, but ourselves. What do you think? Editor: I feel like it connects us to someone across time, and it's beautiful. Curator: Indeed, a fragile bridge built with ink and paper, spanning generations.
