The Imperial Crown Style was a genre of Japanese modernist architecture generally found in 1930s-1940s government buildings. It appears to have mostly skipped southern Korea, but traces of the style can still be seen today. In Volume 92 of Transactions, a journal published by the Royal Asiatic Society – Korea Branch, you may find a short article that I’ve written focusing on just this subject. If you are unable to get a copy of the journal (it can be somewhat difficult to get your hands on), you may use the link below to read the article.
