The 1592 Japanese invasion of Korea, is depicted in this detailed bas relief, at Jinju Castle. The Koreans were at first victorious & that is is what is illustrated here. In subsequent battles, the Japanese overran Korea, despite Chinese intervention.

"The Japanese heartily approached Jinju castle. They expected another easy victory at Jinju but the Korean general Kim Si-min defied the Japanese and stood firm with his 3,800 men. Again, the Koreans were outnumbered. Kim Si-min had recently acquired around 170 arquebuses, equivalent to what the Japanese used. Kim Si-min had them trained and believed he could defend Jinju.

The Japanese charged and began to bring ladders to scale the wall. They also brought a siege tower to try to gain the higher ground. As a counter, the Koreans unleashed massive volleys of cannons, arrows, and bullets. Surprised, Hosokawa tried another angle of approach by using his arquebuses to cover the soldiers scaling the wall. This still had no success because the Koreans ignored the bullets and smashed ladders with rocks and axes. When the Koreans began to lob mortars down at the Japanese, the Japanese began to lose even more men.

After three days of fighting, Kim Si-min was hit by a bullet on the side of his head and fell, unable to command his forces. The Japanese commanders then pressed even harder on the Koreans to dishearten them. But the Koreans fought on. The Japanese soldiers were still unable to scale the walls even with heavy fire from arquebuses."

hi Chris

Interesting carvings on the wall. So much details. I find the exposure a bit too strong and contrast a bit lacking.

Powerful image!
Hard to capture details in those things unless you're shooting at sunrise or sunset!

Hi Chris, Very good to see this close up of the recollection of the battle. It never ceases to amaze me how much of human history is spent in trying to kill each other. Guess part of the human condition. The clarity of this is very good and lots of details visible. Excellent notes. TFS. Murray.
