The Korean Peninsula has been known by two names to the Western world. Traditionally it was the “Land of the Morning Calm.” Lying at the eastern edge of the world’s largest continent, and at the doorway of the giant China, this name shows the Korean pride in being the stable, productive, and creative country that got the early sun as it rose over Japan and worked its way toward China and the world further west. But it is also known as the “Hermit Kingdom.”
