Haeinsa Temple’s “Yeongsanhoesangdo” and Jikjisa Temple’s “Sakyamuni Buddha Triad” Designated as National Treasures

The National Heritage Administration has designated the [Yongsan Hwesangdo of Haeinsa Temple] and [Sakyamuni Triad Painting of Jikjisa Temple in Gimcheon], both created in the late Joseon period, as national treasures.

The Yongsan Hwesangdo of Haeinsa Temple is characterized by its sophisticated depiction of faces and bodies, as well as its brilliant colors and high artistic value. It also features detailed records of the purpose of the painting, the year it was made, and the monks who participated in its creation.

The Sakyamuni Triad Painting of Jikjisa Temple is the oldest and largest among the triad paintings depicting three Buddhas together and is considered a quintessential example of triad paintings that were popular in the late Joseon period.

Additionally, the [Lacquered Chrysanthemum Vine Pattern Box], a prime example of Goryeo lacquerware, the [Wooden Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Triad of Heungcheonsa Temple in Seoul], a representative early 18th-century Buddhist sculpture, and the [Gamlowangdo of Yongjoosa Temple in Hwaseong], a notable Buddhist painting influenced by genre paintings of the late 18th century, have been designated as treasures.

Furthermore, the [Gilt-bronze Standing Bodhisattva] unearthed in 2015 at the Seonlimwon site in Yangyang, Gangwon-do, and the Buddhist scripture [Sanggyojeongbon Jabidojang Champbeop], which was commissioned by the Joseon royal family, have also been designated as treasures.
