According to the Korean Stone Museum’s exhibit description, during the colonial period, these guardians were smuggled by Japanese colonizers. The 문인석Muninseok, or tomb guardians, served to drive evil spirits away from tombs and their inhabitants. In the case of Korea, it contended with colonization by the neighboring imperial state of Japan, which annexed the peninsular empire of Korea officially beginning in 1910 and ending in 1945, at which time Japan surrendered to the Allies of World War II. As with many cultural heritage artifacts, the story of Munineok is one partially of colonization. One of my favorite types of sculptures at the museum are the tomb guardians, the 장군석 Janggunseok (animal-shaped stone sculptures), and the 문인석Muninseok (stone statue of a civil official). Korean stone art dates back to the Joseon Dynasty, which began in 1392, and was replaced by the Korean Empire in October 1897.

In May 2019, my two children and I went on what was my fifth trip back to the Korean peninsula, and one day while I was on a break from the conference at which I was presenting (“A Platform for Peace and Communication” hosted by the Korean Literature Translation Institute), I was able to visit the Korean Stone Art Museum in Seoul for the first time.

In my home country of Korea, the 5,000-year-old indigenous spiritual practice is animism, which is a system in which our existence is not only a physical or material reality, but one full of spirits.
