장승

Traditional Korean Jang Sung (Or now transliterated as Jangseung).  An ancient art form that I studied while working in South Korea.  I studied with Do Ryul Lee in the town of GoSong.  Mr Lee was an officially designated cultural asset and had established the Gosong Mask Museum. 

After some months of study, I became a professional Jang Sung artist.

Because I was the only American to achieve this at the time, I became a minor celebrity.  I was interviewed by newspapers, radio, and television.

And I was the featured speaker at the Annual Korean Jang Sung Festival and participated in a photo op with the provincial president (see photo above).  I was paid ten thousand Won for my participation.  

All very heady.                장승
