Ahn Jung-geun's handwriting before his death will be unveiled in Korea for the first time in 15 years.

To commemorate the 115th anniversary of Harbin's heroic deed, the Korean Museum of History announced that it will hold a special exhibition, Anjung Geunseo, from tomorrow (24th) to March 31 next year.

In this special exhibition, Ahn Jung-geun's handwriting "Independence" in the library of Ryukoku University in Japan is on display again in Korea for the first time in 15 years.

This ink is written by Ahn in 1910, and the will and desire for independence are concentrated in two letters written powerfully and concisely.

In addition to Ahn Jung-geun's handwriting, more than 50 records, photos, and newspaper materials will also be displayed to give a glimpse of Ahn Jung-geun's activities during his lifetime.

The special exhibition is expected to be a place to shed light on Ahn Jung-geun's spirit and thoughts through the letters left from prison for 40 days until he died after being sentenced to death.

The museum explained that the exhibition brought together 18 pieces of ink left in Korea and Japan, including 13 treasures.
