Highlights

Palace architectures such as Forbidden City (China) and Kyng-bokkung (Korea). The magnificent figure is gorgeous. Due to the influence of dramas and music, there is also a growing interest in Chinese and Korean culture. On the other hand, there are few opportunities to learn about the craftsmen who support the architectural culture of China and Korea and the spirit of manufacturing.

This exhibition introduces three masters representing countries in Japan, China and South Korea. Forbidden City, Kyng-bokkung, and Yakushi-ji Temple are the highest artisans associated with East Asia's leading architecture. In this exhibition, powerful architectural models, carpentry tools, blueprints, etc. designed by the masters will come together across the sea, highlighting each "arm highlight". In addition, while interlacing the words of the masters, we will approach the spirits of the masters that have been handed down to Japan, China and South Korea, and create a place where the skills and hearts of the masters in the three countries can interact.

China has been driving the architectural culture of East Asia. In particular, Forbidden City in Beijing boasts the highest scale and design. The National Palace Museum inherits the building, has a repair organization, and conveys the skills of the craftsmen who built Forbidden City. Here, we introduce the design and architectural techniques that created Forbidden City through the work of Lee Eng Lei, who has been working on repairing the buildings of the Imperial Palace since the 1970s.
