Torn down, destroyed, and relocated — a gate that finally returned to its rightful place.
The main gate of Gyeongbokgung, torn down, shifted and rebuilt across the Japanese invasions, the colonial period and the Korean War before being returned to its original position and angle. What one gate went through runs almost parallel to the country's modern history.
