The Yeol Society for Korean Cultural Heritage is holding an exhibition of Buyeo-inspired artwork through Feb. 15. From last March to January, the society, Prof. Choi Gong-ho of the Korea National University of Cultural Heritage and Japanese designer Kosei Shirotani led an initiative to encourage young artists to produce works inspired by the history of Buyeo, South Chungcheong, which was the capital of the Baekje Kingdom (18 BC-AD 660).
