Another clue: when was Hideyoshi the Shogun of Japan?
In my time I heard the echoes of the two invasions, a generation before, driven by Hideyoshi through the heart of Cho-Sen from Fusan in the south to as far north as Pyeng-Yang.

It was this Hideyoshi who sent back to Japan a myriad tubs of pickled ears and noses of Koreans slain in battle.

I talked with many old men and women who had seen the fighting and escaped the pickling.
Back to Keijo and the Lady Om.

Lord, Lord, she was a woman.

For forty years she was my woman.
