Entrance-view of the Main Hall |
Sanshin-gak, set into the cliff-boulders in a classic Korean location! |
Chilseong-gak! [Seven Stars-of-Destiny Shrine] -- looks older, could be pre-war? |
Biro-bul [Variocana, the Cosmic Buddha of Infinite Universal Light] in the Main Hall |
Sanshin painting, late 20th Cen; realistic tiger is a post-1980 phenomena. Quite classic-ordinary motifs, except that the dongja boy holds 7 peaches, suggesting the Chilseong motif -- rare. |
