Excerpt
Traditional hanok house.
Oh Jiho (1905-1982) is a master of Western painting. He introduced the painting style of impressionism in this region. This house is currently owned by his daughter-in-law and Oh Jiho lived here from 1954 until his death in 1982. The uniqueness of this thatch–covered house is symbolic of the traditional style of housing used in Korea a century ago. In Hwasun, there is an official memorial hall built in honor of Oh Jiho.
