작년 7월말, 경남 함양에 갔다가 잠깐 안의면(안의마을)에 있는 함양허삼둘가옥(중요민속자료 제207호)에 들렀습니다. 전통가옥과 관련된 답사중 가장 우울했던 순간으로 기억되었죠. 함양허삼둘가옥은 지난 2004년 방화로 추정되는 화재로 인해 내부가 검게 그을러진 상태입니다. 함양에는 방화로 훼손, 소실된 전통건축물이 몇몇 있습니다. 이곳 함양허삼둘가옥을 비롯하여 농월정(소실), ... [Link]

한수명오리고가(좌),김세균판서고가(우)전경.. 제천에서 월악산입구를 거쳐 수안보쪽으로 향하면서 담아본 풍경입니다. 원래는 계획에 없었던 코스인데 우연히 눈에 띄어 잠시 발길을 멈추게 되었지요. 고가 뒷편으로는 월악산이 병풍처럼 자리잡고 있네요~ 사실 이 두고가는 원래부터 이곳에 있던 것은 아닙니다. 충주댐건설로 인해 두 고가가 수몰위기에 처하면서 이곳에 ... [Link]

Check out the links at the bottom of the post too for several other collections of outstanding photos from the late 19th century to post Korean War
Warning: One of the links is to an astonishing collection of very graphic images of purported Japanese atrocities perpetrated during the colonial period, including beheadings, mutilations, etc. I say “purported” only because I have not had an opportunity to carefully examine the photos to determine whether and where the events pictured occurred.
Here’s the link for the nasty stuff for inquiring minds that want to know and the squeamish to avoid.
Whoops:

Humane…to be human…it is not a positive adjective !
They know, the Asians do, how much they need America to keep its soldiers here. They hate each other, the Asians do, more deeply than we can understand. It’s still so close to the surface, right where they want it to be.
Defensive Japanese comment starting in 3…2…1…
Amen to Linkd’s comment #6. The photos are clearly PLA propaganda stuff, though nonetheless fascinating.
Anyway, for what little it may be worth, my personal web site at http://www.tomcoyner.com is in fact up, but I’m glad that the Marmot linked folks over to my professional web site in this posting.

Some of the photos may be authentic. But some of them have been proven by Japanese scholars and historians to be be falsified. Unlike recent KJI’s composit photos, some of them are amateurish sham. You can find some of the same photos here. http://photo.jijisama.org/slaughter.html
The helmet, uniform, shoes are not those of the Japanese soldiers but Chinese ones.
Hey Nat-To (smart),
Not even the most creative “falsified” photos could even begin to capture the true horror of those murderous Jap bastards. Not even the Nazis could hold a candle to them.
It’s in the past, that is true but don’t try to
“Hello-Kittyize” it.
I dig going to Japan and shaggin’ Jap chicks etc. but seeing these photos brings it out of me.
And every August while so many of you Hiroshima hand wringers go on a guilt trip, this American says to himself….
“Damn,….too bad we didn’t have more than two of them !”
The Japs should kiss American ass for 10,000 years simply for keeping the Chinese from getting their pound of flesh after the war.
While we’re on the subject of photos, why does it always seem to take two Jap guys to fuck one Jap girl?
Really on a roll, aren’t you, anunsaram.
what is the music on that page link of spewer #4?

Whether the photos are genuine or not, the little folks of the islands are capable of committing such acts. They are the Taliban of East Asia. I wouldn’t have much faith in the island historians.
