Beyond the brushstroke

Chusa House in Sinam-myeon, Yesan, is known as the birthplace of Kim Jeong-hui, the nineteenth-century scholar and calligrapher whose pen name was Chusa. Walk past the entrance quarters and look toward the men's and family buildings: the house puts an everyday setting around a person often encountered only through calligraphy. The county's facility guide also notes a shrine and the nearby Hwasun Princess memorial gate.

Two stops, two addresses

Follow the house visit with the Chusa Memorial Museum to learn about Kim's life, painting and writing. The county lists Chusa House at 261 Chusagotaek-ro and the museum at 295 Chusagotaek-ro; they are separate map destinations. A nearby experience room advertises activities such as Chusa-style brush writing and orchid painting, but sessions and charges must be checked for your actual date.

Check before visiting

The museum's official guidance gives free general admission and hours of 09:00–18:00 in March–October and 09:00–17:00 in November–February.
