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

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
