Why read it?
1 author picked Art of the Korean Renaissance, 1400-1600 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

What’s cool about this book is that you can do all that from the comfort of your favorite chair. This book is specific to a period of two hundred years—1400 to 1600, which happen to be the years I’m interested in. So often the Joseon era cultural books focus on the 18th century, so I was happy to find a book for the earlier years of the dynasty.
From Deb's list on to understand traditional Korean culture.
