Chōsen koseki zufu

Kungnip Ch'ŏnmundae (Korea · 1915 · [Seoul Tōkyō] Chōsen Sōtokufu · 13 pictures

Chōsen koseki zufu is a 1915 archaeological survey of Korean antiquities issued by the Chōsen Sōtokufu, the Japanese colonial government in Korea, and compiled by the Kungnip Ch'ŏnmundae. The pages are plates of photographs and drawings of excavated sites, tomb mounds, floor plans and decorated tiles. A designer might take from them the sparse, documentary layout of paired photographs and line plans on cream paper, with brick and tile patterns of geometric scrolls and chevrons.
