How are you all doing during this boring rainy season? It's still so humid and difficult now, but it must have been worse in the past. In particular, laundry must have been a big task for housewives. Where did you do your laundry? In this week's Centennial Photo, we selected a photo published in a newspaper dated July 13, 1926. This is “Sancheong-dong’s Laundry Site.” I probably misspelled Samcheong-dong. There was a laundry in the middle of Seoul. There are lots of people in the photo. A child is standing next to a laundry basket. Mom would only play with me after work. What kind of year was 1926? On April 25th, King Sunjong passed away at Changdeokgung Palace, and on June 10th, Insan Day, there was an independence movement. This photo is taken two months after the national funeral. It appears to be doing the laundry that had been postponed because they had chosen a day when it was not raining. Because life must go on regardless of sadness. In fact, a week after this photo was published, a newspaper dated July 18, 1926, published a photo of the area around the Han River and Insa-dong, which had been flooded for the first time in three years. It is now Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.
