Susanbonhyangdang Hall

Designated Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Folklore Material No. 9-4 on 6 April 2005. An information sign stands at the entrance to the shrine, reading as follows: "Susanbonhyangdang Hall, also known as Ullwemoru Harosandang, oversees the childbirth, fishing, household registers and land registers of the people of Susan-ri. The deity is Harosan-sin, thought to belong to the lineage of deities that arose from Hallasan Mountain. Inside the shrine a wooden image of the deity is enshrined, though its head is now damaged. The ritual days are the 2nd day of the 1st month (Singwasejae), the 15th day of the 1st month (Yeongdeungje), the 13th day of the 2nd month (Yeongdeung-songbyeoljae), the 8th day of the 7th month (Mabullimje), and the 4th day of the 11th month (Simangundaejae). Branch shrines rooted in this one have also arisen in neighbouring villages such as Siheung-ri and Sinyang-ri." Following the small path between the fields, the shrine building comes into view. It was built large in cement, with a wall of cement and stone. Stepping inside, a curtain is visible hanging at the front; drawing it back reveals an altar formed by recessing part of the wall slightly inward. Behind the two-tiered cement altar a Taegeukgi National Flag hangs on the wall, and before it two deity images are enshrined. The wooden figures are headless; on the left stands one dressed in a red man's hanbok, and on the right one dressed in a green woman's hanbok. On the altar are candlesticks, wine cups, an incense burner and bottles of soju, along with hanging myeongsil (ritual threads offered for long life). Platforms are also set up on either side of the altar, holding bowls, incense burners, candlesticks, wine bottles and a mat.
