One of the main characteristics of the architecture by Ando Tadao looks like the sacrifice the efficiency and the convenience with the beauty and the meaning of the building.
The main room for the display was not so wide, but it was not easy to describe that wonderous atmosphere of the exhibition hall. This building is a museum though, the size of the halls for the exhibition seemed not so wide enough in comparing to that of other museum.
The main hall for the paper relics was located in the very center of the building. It was not easy to reach to that hall, so we needed to walk for a while to arrive at.
But the contents of the exhibition were really amazing.
Moreover, the way of displaying the contents was fantastic, they maximized the effect of the dark and the lights.
The exhibition hall was dark, but there were lights over the crafts in the glass tube.
The atmosphere in this hall was dreamy.
I have lived through the underdeveloped era of Korea though, there were lots of crafts that I didn’t see before.
The contents of this hall were the handicraft works.
They made all most of everything with the paper.
Lantern
Case for the bail of thread
Shoes
Headrest
Case for the glases
The most impressive object attracted my attention was the peeing pot for the brides.
The special natural paint was brushed for the waterproof so that the brides could peeing in the cart when moving for the wedding ceremony.
As looking around, I realized that if the fossil resources were exhausted the paper could be the substitute for the fossil resources. It looks much more better than chemical goods.
Thank you for reading.
It was a great pleasure to know about the great architect, Ando Tadao.
I heard There was another architecture of Ando in Seoul, so I'd like to stop by next chance asap
