Can anyone guess what building's roof these men are exercising on?
There are at least two buildings which are still standing today in the background. The image is a panorama made from stills from the 1940 propaganda film 'Patriots Day in Chosen,' which can be found on this dvd.
On Seoul City Hall, actually. If you look at how the wall running from the base of the Seoul City Council building (at far right) makes its way from the right towards the center but, as if following the path of an octagon three sides, heads back towards the right, you can see the shape of City Hall's rear wall (if it still had one, I mean).
sodaemun prison?
ReplyDeleteI'm also guessing sodaemun..
ReplyDeleteIt's near the Seoul City Hall - where you can see the Anglican Church and Seoul City Council building (Then called 'Bumin-gwan').
