Ha Eungun’s Will

This document is Ha Eungun’s will to his eldest son, Jaeak. As his illness became worse, Ha Eungun recorded his requests on how to split his property, and affairs to be aware of for his funeral service. The document suggests that Ha had a concubine and a child by the concubine, and largely concerns property distribution and his advice towards the two. It is interesting that Ha requested the use of hemp, cotton, and silk for his funeral, as opposed to velvet and woven thread. His testament was documented on the twenty third day of the first month of the year, and he passed away only five days later at the age of seventy-one.
