Cultural Heritage Material
Korea Heritage Service · khs.go.krThe Chilseong Buddhist painting in the Chilseonggak (Seven Stars Shrine Hall) of Sudosa Temple is a medium-sized work, nearly 2 metres across, painted in colour on a cotton ground. Chilseong, the Seven Stars, refers to the Big Dipper deity worshipped in Korean Buddhism for longevity and good fortune. The iconographic figures are depicted in relatively orderly fashion, though the colouring is somewhat rough. It has value as source material for studying the iconography of Chilseong paintings from the late to final years of the Joseon dynasty.
