Korea Travels - Day 9, Deoksugung Palace Part 4

Seogeodang was my favorite building in the palace. It has a natural wood color and the designs are very intricut. This is the only building in this palace that did not burn down at least once.

Eric noted that on the temples and palace structures, you could find swastikas. I was surprised how much these symbols were used in the past. Eric noted that Native American Indians used swastikas until after the war. They declared they would not use this symbol again since it has been befouled. Like many, I associate this symbol with the Nazi party. It is a shame that this symbol is associated with so much negativity.
