AB - The purpose of this article is to explore, through the analysis of severalessays on the experience of Sung-Choen (成川) by Lee-Sang, how an artistof modernism accepts the value of his nationality or local culture. Thefirst essay on Sung-Choen by Lee-Sang is San-Chon-Wyo-Jung (山村餘情) which means the reminders of feelings after traveling the mountainvillage. In that essay, Lee-Sang described the landscape of Sung-Choenvividly using sensational and urbane metaphors. In it, Sung-Choen meansnature or the rural area. Lee-Sang used paradox and irony in The fatigue(倦怠), which is the second important essay on his experience ofSung-Choen, in order to express the depression of his inner mind throughthe descriptions of Sung-Choen. Lee-Sang’s posthumous essays onSung-Choen reveal many symptoms which indicate that Lee-Sang musthave realized the value of Sung-Choen, not only as his homeland and asymbol of Korean culture and Korean-ness, but also as a symbol of humblelives. There were two major causes of this. Firstly, there was the wor-sening of his condition of pulmonary tuberculosis. Secondly, he had feltdeeply disillusioned about imitating modernity after visiting Tokyo. Hecame to realize that Tokyo was just a copy of London or New York, andSeoul a copy of Tokyo. So he had a new understanding of the meaningof Sung-Choen as his birthland and local culture.
