Links to pages about, regarding or of general interest in relation to Yi Sun Shin. Please send any suggested links to yisunshin@aol.com. This page is being updated and added to in my spare time (which is one of those things they tell you never to say on a web page as it seems so unprofessional, but when did I ever say this was professional? It is simply a hobby, and often a time-consuming one at that, but there is a certain amount of personal satisfaction from seeing the number of visitors, and chatting with the occasional signer of the guestbook).
