Manhae Han Yongun House 만해 한용운 심우장

This is the house where Manhae Han Yongun (1879-1944) lived from 1933 to 1944. Manhae Han Yongun, who wrote the poem 'Sweetheart's Silence', was one of the 33 national representatives during the March First Independence Movement. If you enter the main gate facing east, you can see the tile-roofed house of Simjjang facing north, and the annex used to make this Western style house, and a Chinese juniper tree which is said to have been planted by Manhae himself.

Han Yongun was a Buddhist priest who tried to reform Joseon's Buddhism, and an independent activist who strived for the liberation of his country. He was also a poet who contributed greatly to modern Korean literature. Sumujang is the place where Han Yongun spent his later years, and thus it is a historical site which shows some aspects of the great poet.
