Beauty of Paintings and Wall of Mireuk-Jeon in Keumsan-sa Temple, Korea

in travel •  6 years ago 

There are lots of interesting things in Mireuk-Jeon of Keumsan-sa.
People were amazing wooden building’ scale and size, because it was so difficult to build such a 3 story wooden building.

But when you look at the building carefully, you can find other interesting things around the building.
Among those interesting things, the drawings on the wall were so impressive.
Unlike the drawings of other temples, the drawings in Mireuk-Jeon were composed of mainly figure paintings.

There were lots of figures. The figures seemed the Heaven Kings, Bodhisattva of great compassion…
The drawings were very delicate and beautiful.
The blue color was used to highlight some point. Using blue color to highlight in Buddhist drawing was not so common in my opinion.
But it was difficult for me to understand the meaning of the drawings.

Drawings and the patterns on the wall are matching very well as below

If you look closer to Mireuk-Jeon, you can find unusual beauties there.
I believe we are always surrounded by the beauties. Problem is we can not notice thous beauties.
But if your change your way of looking around and thinking, you can find real beauties around you.

The paintings are really made by a passionate painter @slowwalker although I think they have not much resources that is why the paintings have many blue color and not much of anything else, nonetheless the paintings are a stunning site to marvel about with their meanings. The Mireuk-Jeon building really is a very good example of a lasting design.

@slowwalker,
I wish those artworks are well protected! Because I could see discolor issues there! Just imagine, how long was here and how many rains and sun burn might occurred on it! But we can see those colors and artworks! That's an impressive thing! Moreover those designs and patterns! Yeah they made a great beauties that we could rare see!
Great photography of this great journey!

Cheers~

I like the colors of the Temple as well as the blue highlights of the paintings...the painter is really good as well as the architect of the 3 story wooden building. How I wish I could visit it one day. As always, thank you @slowwalker for slowly walking and sharing to us the beauty of your culture. God bless!

Temple paintings are very unusual,seen some paintings that are still original relic of the past,really useful work my brother,i have to learn a lot from you sir @slowwalker

@slowwalker, Absolutely Mireuk-Jeon in Keumsan-sa Temple has most impressive looks with adorable paintings.

Unlike the drawings of other temples, the drawings in Mireuk-Jeon were composed of mainly figure paintings.

Yep...That's true. I saw there are so many powerful meanings indeed paintings. I think paintings given best imagine than talking conversation. Some figures lost color painting. More places painted attractive blue color. Definitely we can see beauty there only from your photo clicks. But if we will have to go there can see live and can know better knowledge.

if your change your way of looking around and thinking, you can find real beauties around you..

Yep..totally agreed. Everything depend on our mind. If mind can change you will see every beauty places around the world. Triple gem bless you.

Beautiful these delicate designs. The time that has passed does not diminish their evocative value.

오래된 미술품들은 마냥
신비롭기만 합니다.
그 옛날에 아름다운 색감을 만든것도
지혜로워 보이고요~^^

Nice painting

It is amazing that these temples still retain those drawings that is, they must have many years there kept and yet you can still admire the work I do the artist so we realize the quality of the drawing! Thank you for sharing with us

is a great artwork @slowwalker

beautiful paintingss you are so passionate painter slowwalker 😍

These drawings are very nice and I imagine they are drawings that are many years old, right? Despite that, they are still very well preserved.

You are right @slowwalker in your publication, many times we are wrong about beauty since from childhood we are instilled with a prototype of beauty, but the reality is that we can find beauty in anything, we just have to change the way we see life and start to love and appreciate everything we have around us.

Greetings @slowwalker and good night!

Wow really great paintings.

this painting is amazing, it seems this is a picture that symbolizes buddhism in Hinduism, it is more fun to see it in person, it is fun to travel like you @slowwalker

This summer I went from St. Paul, MN on the Mississippi R. to Cario, Ill. were I went up the Ohio R., Tennessee River then down the TennTom Waterway to Mobile, Al. I sailed just a few days in my homemade 14 ft. sailboat (with cabin) then motored with a 4 horse. A 60 days, 1666 mile trip stopping every night and mtg. new and old friends. I am planning to build a kayak with folding akas and using a small sail besides paddling. The plan is to leave in the spring/summer of 2018. Your video has been so helpful to me to get an overview to plan for my trip. Good job.

They say paintings can be deep but this creativity seriously takes some courage too. Art at its best :) Am glad you shared these
Good day @slowwalker
