This rather beautiful letter, from a pregnant widow to her dead husband in 16th century Andong, has be out there for a while, but has just resurfaced in the blogopshere courtesy of Letters of Note. Do give it a read there, or in the earlier article in archaeology.org. The letter was found on her husband’s body, along with a pair of sandals made out of her hair.
This was the letter that Modl Theatre’s production “Mong Yeon (A Love in Dream)” was based on: LondonKoreanLinks.net review and information here:
