<P>Thanks for your comment. However, there is a great difference to use
the Cultural Asset as a Tea House for commecial purpose and just to
convert an ordinary hanok into a guest house. Not all hanoks are real
treasure but mass of hanoks in the village like Kahoe-dong is worth to
conserve as it is.</P>

<DIV>Dear Friend:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your description of the history of the home in which you were
born gave me a quick return to the Namsan Hanok Maul where I
enjoyed tea last year. It was during the first Asian Traditional
Arts Festival organized, in part, by my friends from Sohaean
Beyonsingut. I've also discovered that the hanok buildings turned
into guest houses in the Anguk area offer the best accommodations
for travelers. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Happy Chusok (soon).</DIV>

<P>Indeed, not only the destruction of hanok but also the
<STRONG>transformation</STRONG> of hanok is officially condoned by
the Seoul City government because of
cultural ignorance.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>The master carpenter Yi SUng-Op who reconstructed KyOngbok
Palace built his own house and sold it to my great-grandfather in
1889. I was born in this house and lived until 1964.
Fortunately it was selected as cultural asset of Seoul (no.
20) in 1977, and moved to the north side of Namsan in 1996. This
(the first from the entrance) house at Namsan Hanok MaUl
(Village) is used as Yennal Ch'ajip (Old Tea House), which is
somewhat against safely preserving traditional architecture.</P>
<P><BR>Besides some inside transformations, of particular concern
is the loss of the walls that divided the <EM>anch'ae</EM>
(women's quarters), the <EM>sarangch'ae </EM>(men's quarters), and
the <EM>haengnangch'ae</EM> (servants' quarters) from one
another.The inner walls kept the socially proper distance from
each other reflecting an important hierarchy of everyday
<EM>yangban</EM> life. This residence is not authentically
restored yet by the Seoul City government because of
their cultural ignorance.</P>
