Blog Theme

We chose this theme because we thought that the texture of the background shows that this was taken place in the olden days. This is the theme of our blog as Tae-Yul's journal was written during the Japanese occupation.This texture also represents the condition of the journal and the type of paper the journal was written on.

Kanji In The Past

This is form of kanji in the past. Tae-yul used to hate learning kanji but later he found out the importance of learning it.

Sharon Tree!

This Sharon Tree represents the love for Korea from Omoni and Tae-yul and the hard work they put in to hide the tree from the Japanese.
