Gyeongbok Palace was one of the palaces used by Korean royal family during the Jeoson Dynasty. Construction of the palace started in 1394. Most of the buildings were destroyed during Japan's invasion in 1592 (the Koreans themselves torched many of the buildings when rioting broke out upon news that the king had fled Seoul to escape the Japanese). Reconstruction work and expansion did not begin until 1865. Unfortunately, time was not kind to Gyeongbok Palace as fires, and various buildings were dismantled during Japan's colonial occupation (1905-45). The main gate, Gwanghwamun, was destroyed during the Korean War (1951-'53) and was rebuilt in 1968 and relocated and rebuilt again in 2010. Reconstruction of the rest of the Palace started in 1995 and was finished in 2006.
A komainu agyō in black and white. This is was taken at a small street shrine that is adjacent to Shōun-ji, a Zen Buddhist temple in the upscale area of Hiro-o in Tokyo. Shōun-ji was founded by the daimyo (feudal lord) Kuroda Tadayuki, who ruled the domain of Fukuoka in North Kyushu. The temple was built to serve as the final resting place for his father, the famed late Sengoku-period warlord Kuroda Nagamasa (1568-1623). Some truly amazing woodwork here!

Great learning experience to improve my sculpting and texturing skills. Special thanks to Andrew Ariza for the high-poly sculpt guidance and techniques and Paul Carstens for the critiques! Cheers lads!
