This is the shrine and tomb of Sin Chae-ho (1880-1936), an independence activist, historian, and journalist of the early 20th century. In the years leading up to Japan’s occupation of Korea, Sin published many patriotic articles in support of Korean sovereignty. When Korea was annexed in 1910, he left for Shanghai, where he continued his fight for independence and dedicated himself to research and writing on Korean history. Among his writings is the highly regarded book, Joseon sanggosa (Ancient History of Korea). In 1928, he was arrested by the Japanese police in Shanghai and died in prison in China. He was awarded the presidential medal of the Order of Merit for National Foundation in 1962. This shrine was first built in his hometown in 1960 by his clan, but it was moved and rebuilt here in front of his tomb in 1978 by the local government. The epitaph on the tombstone was composed and calligraphed by two independence movement leaders: Han Yong-un, a Buddhist reformer and poet, and O Se-chang, a renowned calligrapher. A stele was erected in 1972 to commemorate the construction of this historic site. (More Information on Sin Chae-ho in English)
