Original – In 1921, the Empire of Japan turned a Korean royal cemetery into the first golf course on the peninsula. The fenced-off tombs (center of image) remained in the line of play.

Restoration (by Adam Cuerden)

Reason: Paired with a caption I think it's pretty shocking; my jaw dropped when I first learned of it. Succinctly captures why the period of Korea under Japanese rule has continued to cause controversy. For sources for the claims in the caption, please see the Hyochang Park article.

Support restoration - They what now? Yeah, my jaw dropped. Seems like a newspaper or book scan, but high EV and the halftoning isn't too bad. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:26, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
