Additional Information Image was scanned from (faded) color slide. Note: "An ondol, also called gudeul, in Korean traditional architecture, is underfloor heating which uses direct heat transfer from wood smoke to the underside of a thick masonry floor. In modern usage it refers to any type of underfloor heating, or a hotel or sleeping room in Korean (as opposed to Western) style."--Wikipedia. Note: "The decorative arts is traditionally a term for the design and manufacture of functional objects. It includes interior design, but not usually architecture."--Wikipedia. Note: Yi Dynasty of Korea (also known as the Choson or Joseon Dynasty): 1382-1910.
