A Pilgrimage to Our Cultural Heritage with Professor Yoo Hong-jun's Commentary on Masterpieces

"Yoo Hong-jun's National Treasure Pilgrimage" is a commentary on a masterpiece introduced by Professor Yoo Hong-jun, focusing on monumental relics that we should keep in our hearts with the mindset of "making a pilgrimage to the nation's treasures."
In this book, the term 'national treasure' is not limited to national treasures and treasures designated as cultural properties by the country, but also includes precious Korean relics that the author considers masterpieces.
This book is a collection of selected articles serialized once a week in a daily newspaper over a period of two years, from April 2009 to July 2011.
At the time of serialization, due to limited space, each episode had to fit onto 5.2 sheets of 200-character manuscript paper. However, by compiling the manuscripts into a book, we were able to overcome the limitations of length and enrich the explanations of each relic, thereby differentiating it from the original manuscripts at the time of serialization.
The order of the manuscripts was not based on the serialization order of the daily newspaper, but was rearranged according to the type of artifacts, such as paintings and calligraphy, crafts and ceramics, sculptures and architecture, and overseas Korean cultural assets.

The greatest appeal of this book is that it allows you to carefully examine each and every one of the various types of relics and discover the true beauty and new charm of each cultural asset.
In order to introduce our masterpieces to a wider audience, the author developed an easy-to-understand explanation that is accessible to the general public, not just art historians or cultural heritage experts.
Writing concisely and popularly is not easy.
This is especially true if its purpose is to convey information and inspiration.
The author, with his professional knowledge, rich experience, and mature writing style, delivers an easy and impressive explanation that feels like listening to an old story.
All chapters are meaningful, but the one that deserves special attention is ‘Overseas Korean Cultural Assets.’
The author, who has always had a special interest and affection for our cultural assets located abroad, visited museums overseas and roughly looked at important artifacts in the United States and Europe at each art gallery.
By including high-quality illustrations provided by overseas museums, you will be able to see artifacts that are rarely seen in Korea, along with friendly commentary by the author.

In this way, the author appreciates cultural assets with the warm gaze of a living, breathing being.
That gaze is conveyed directly to the reader, and if you follow the author's gaze, those who usually love cultural assets will love him even more, and those who have no interest in cultural assets will develop a new interest and affection for him.

High quality illustrations with vivid details

This book is based on one page of commentary and one page of photos of artifacts.
In some cases, full and detailed illustrations are included over three pages to aid the reader's understanding and appreciation.
The illustrations are of the highest quality and most recent available, and were created with the cooperation of domestic and international experts and museums.
As the author quotes in the text, Mies van der Rohr, considered one of the greatest architects of the 20th century, once said, “God is in the details.”
Our cultural assets are beautiful in their overall appearance, but when you look closely at the details, the depictions are incredibly elaborate and beautiful.
High-quality ceramic plates that allow you to vividly feel the texture of silk and the curves of porcelain will greatly help you feel and appreciate the beauty of cultural assets.
In addition, to help readers understand, information about the artifacts is listed below the photos of the artifacts, and a list of illustrations is attached to provide more detailed information.
Additionally, interesting backstories of cultural assets are included in a separate page.
