It marks the day of the protest, March 1, 1919. On that day, I doubt any Korean stepped on the Japanese flag. The original Samil was to protest Japanese colonial rule. Even Koreans overseas and American missionaries tried desperately to get international recognition of Korea. At that time, the Korean peninsula was politically part of Japan. The protest was organized by many religious leaders. If I remember correctly, it consisted of Buddhist, Christian, and Chondogyo (a modern Korean religion) leaders. A Chondogyo leader initiated the Samil declaration and march. It started out peacefully, but first the Japanese taunted and then physically attacked the marchers. (Doesn't that awfully sound a lot like Dr. King Jr's marches?) The Koreans couldn't take it anymore, so they started fighting back. It turned out bloody for both sides, but the world did take noticed. They realized that Japanese colonial rule in Asia was not as enlightened as they thought. This helped start the process of the war against Japan.

Both Master Allison and Master Nichols were Sun Moo Kwan. Master Nichols' patch for Sun Moo Kwan looks identical to the Kuk Sool Won patch. Master Nichols, could you tell us why (if you subscribe to the digest)? In terms of the Korean. Sun is Sino-Korean for Zen (most likely, I could only confirm if I saw the original Chinese character). Moo is Sino-Korean for war/martial (again, most likely). Kwan is House/Hall (most likely). Sung Moo Kwan most likely is "Star Martial Hall." I believe Sun Moo Kwan and Sung Moo Kwan are different schools of hapkido.

Ray ================================== Korean New Wave Cinema Film Series at the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC March & April The Korea Society is collaborating with the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur Sackler Gallery to survey recent South Korean cinema in a film series organized by the Cinematheque Ontario (Toronto) with independent film curator Im Hyun-Ock (Seoul). The series will feature six of Korea's finest feature films from the past decade, including key films by Korea's veteran auteur, Im Kwon-Taek, and restrospectives of Korean New Wave directors Park Kwang-Su, Hong Sang- Soo and Lee Myung-Se. Major trends in Korean cinema are best understood in the context of political change and the enduring effects of colonialism and civil war. The Korean New Wave began as a student movement in the 'dark days' of the late Seventies, just prior to the Kwangju Uprising. Activists criticized the highly conservative style of Chungmuro filmmaking for its lack of authenticity, dependence on tired genres, and failure to respond to social concerns. (Chungmuro is the district of Seoul where most commercial film companies are based.)The movement called for a new aesthetic which would speak directly to the Korean experience. It is somewhat surprising that the New Wave movement was supported by the Korean government, who responded in 1984, by establishing the Korean Film Academy, mandated to facilitate the transition of young talent into the film industry. Another significant policy change came with the 1987 Film Act which abolished the quota system and deregulated the Korean film market. The South Korean film industry was opened to international interests, resulting in a flood of foreign (especially American) films and the ensuing attrition of Korean film production. Needless to say, contemporary Korean filmmakers have had to work in a more competitive atmosphere. The most recent trend is toward small, independent production companies, which are turning out a wide range of innovative films representative of the diversity of life in South Korea." - Susan Oxtoby, in her introduction to the Cinematheque Ontario film program.
