this is the roof of the museeum of Jinju , in the heart of the old fortress , Jinju is a historic place .It was the location of the first (1592) and second (1593) Sieges of Jinju by Japanese forces during the Imjin War
The Two Japanese invasions of Korea and subsequent battles on the Korean peninsula took place from 1592 to 1598. Toyotomi Hideyoshi led the newly unified Japan into the first invasion (1592-1593) with the professed goal of conquering Korea, the Jurchens, Ming Dynasty China, and India .
The second invasion (1594-1596) was aimed rather solely as a retaliatory offensive against the Koreans.
The invasions are also known as Hideyoshi's invasions of Korea, the Seven Year War (in reference to its span) and the Imjin War (Hangul: 임진왜란 - lit. Wa Invasion of the Imjin Year), in reference to the "Imjin" year of the sexagenary cycle in Korean.The Japanese name of the war means, "Joseon Campaign"; and the Chinese, "the Eastern Pacification".
