Culture Empathy Sujeong (Japanese-style House in Sujeong-dong, Busan)

Culture Empathy Sujeong (National Heritage Name: Japanese-style House in Sujeong-dong, Busan) is a Japanese-style building constructed in 1943, with a three-bay gate with a gabled roof on a large plot and one main building facing south. The right side of the main building's entrance is built of brick (masonry), while most of the rest is built as a Japanese-style wooden house. Currently, part of the first floor has been converted into an ondol room, but on the second floor, the veranda (engawa), the corridor with a wooden floor, and the tatami room remain in their original form, as seen in typical Japanese-style houses. In addition, in the tatami-floored interior, detailed decorations such as the tokonoma, tsukeshoin, shoji, tatami, and Japanese-style window patterns are preserved in their original form. It is well-equipped with the exterior elements of a high-class Japanese-style building, and is particularly characterized by the spatial composition and decoration that thoroughly follow the form of a traditional Japanese-style house on the second floor. It is evaluated as a place of significant documentary value for the study of modern residential architecture and lifestyle history during the Japanese colonial period.
