Rock-carved Amitabha Buddha Triad at Jajangam Hermitage of Tongdosa Temple, Yangsan

This is an important example of combining sculpture with Buddhist painting. It is a Buddhist sculpture standing at the very outset of the modern period, and it greatly influenced the later carving of nearby modern-period rock-carved Buddha images with a strong pictorial quality. As though a preliminary sketch for a Buddhist painting popular in the 19th century had been transferred directly onto the rock, the work clearly displays the stylistic characteristics of the Buddhist paintings of its time, giving it considerable rarity value.
