Amitabha Triad Buddha Portable Buddhist Shrine And Seven Amitabha Buddha Portable Buddhist Shrine In Late Joseon Period

From November 12th to 14th, Dongguk University museum held special exhibition called Jeun Dan Ji Hyang (&#26676;檀之香) commemorating university s 112 years history. In the special exhibition, two late Joseon period portable buddhist shrine sculptures with different shapes were submitted and displayed. One portable buddhist shrine is widely known as Amitabha Triad sculpted by Hyeon won which was held by professor Mun Myeong Dae, who was a director of Dongguk University museum long time ago. Another portable buddhist shrine was held by Chentae ( Tiantai ) sect central museum. One that Dongguk University museum has a cylindrical shape from shoulder to abdomen, thus it is also referred as shell case shape type or bomb shape type portable buddhist shrine. One that owned by Chentae ( Tiantai ) sect central museum has octagonal roof shrine style. it is a religious view that it is not suitable to call portable buddhist shrine a bomb shape type, and portable buddhist shrine shape is more to a lotus peak. Thus it is more suitable, in religious view point, to call it bell shaped or lotus peak shaped . Style of Bell shaped portable buddhist shrine was developed based on <Suncheon Songgwangsa buddhist temple s Wooden Buddha Triad Portable Shrine>. This portable buddhist shrine has a great significance as an example of the earliest portable buddhist shrine in the late Joseon Dynasty. It was originally know as sculpted by Hyeon won. However. from shape and form are more related to Cheong Hun Yu Pa, its expressionless and solemn facial expression, simple shaped drawing which bring modesty, hand signature of Amitabha Buddhist and the shape of Buddhist robe suggested that it is deeply related to <Gurye Hwaseomsa Temple s Seated Wooden Bairocana Buddhas of Three Bodies> made in 1634 and <Hadong Ssanggyesa Temple s Seated Wooden Shakyamuni Buddha at the center is f lanked by the Bhaisajyaguru Buddha and four bodhisattvas> made in 1639, From 2002 to 2013, Cultural Heritage Administration conducted nationwide cultural property, which are held in buddhist temple, research in order to form datebase on sculptures from the late Joseon period. As a result of comparative study among many buddhist sculptures s work, this portable buddhist shrine is highly likely made by Hyeon Yun, who might be identical person with name of Hyeon won or miss read Hyeon Yun (賢允) from Hyeon won (賢元) since their Chinese characters are very similar. Hyeon Yun sculpted under Cheong heon (淸憲) who was one of the most representative buddhist sculpture of 17th century. Cheong heon s work is rarely exist, thus if this portable buddhist shrine is a work of Hyeon Yun, it has significant meaning in sculpting history. It is regrettable that it is not possible to know exactly which Yu pa the portable buddhist shrine sculpture made by because the original votive document of the was not discovered at Chentae ( Tiantai ) sect central museum. However, this portable buddhist shrine shows simplified octagonal shaped buddhist shrine form in the late 17th century, and angle rafter had cloud shaped Yeoui dumun decoration. Door latch s from is also creative. In the spacious inner area, there are seven figures which hakyamuni Buddha at the center is f lanked by the Bhaisajyaguru Buddha and four bodhisattvas. Among portable buddhist shrines, this showed and had form of the most dramatic scene of paradise in late Joseon period. The Buddhist statues have monotonous and child-like body proportions, and have a soft and slender face. On the right shoulder, there is an impressive wrinkle that crosses twice with the short waistline, the beneath the clavicle and the abdomen center shape W . This sculpture can be compared with sculptures from Sec Nan Yu Pa or Dan Eung Yu Pa. The shape of the portable buddhist shrine, the detailed expression system, and the formative features of the simple octagonal shape are similar to the portable buddhist shrine which was sculpted by Sec Nan
