OLD MOKPO-Remnants of Japanese Colonization


Japanese Consulate-circa early 1900's
Was used as a city hall and a library-Now empty




Japanese Government Building-Circa early/mid 1900's
Now Modern History Museum which details Japanese Colonization Period
Alas, it's closed on Monday



I don't know what this building is (on top of large hill), I am curious though...



Factorys/Storage Buildings-Old Mokpo
Used primarily for commercial fishing industries at this time







Streets, which run next to old factories, are lined with commercial fishing nets

Factorys and Smokestacks in Old Mokpo
Many date to early 1900's



Birthplace of Lee, Nan-Young
Famous Mokponian Folk Singer
Sang songs reflecting Koreans anguish over Japanese occupation in early-mid 1900's
