A wooden figure of seated Amitabha Buddha of Sunamsa temple has been enshrined as a central buddha of the main building at Sunamsa temple and have been discoverd that it was made in 1658 and reconstructed in 1593, assuming that it was created around the late of the 17th century according to votive documents(發願文). On this thesis, I want to analyze its characteristics as well as the contents in detail and discuss upon it relationship with the statue itself and votive documents and need to confirm the date it was constructed. As a result, it was reflected this work was influenced by the art works of the 15th century in the Joseon Dynasty which was descented from the late Goryeo Period with its expressions, clothes, wrinkles as well as its brush techniques. Furthermore, these two votive documents was concluded that Amitabha Buddha was constructed at Busan Sunamsa temple. In other words, Amitabha Buddha was made in 1658 with the donation of 89 people along with No Jeop(盧즙), Navy General(水軍僉節制使) of Busan Gadeokjin(加德鎭) and the reconstruction in 1693 was with the donation of 25 people including 2 sclptures. In the conclusion, votive documents was not of current Busan Sunamsa temple and it was originally from Amitabha Buddha which had been placed at Sunamsa temple. The research of wooden figure of seated Amitabha Buddha in Sunamsa temple and votive documents was to introduce the new styles of buddhist art works of the 15th century and the type of votive documents in the 17th century as well as the sclptures` names which could be the key note for the study on the sculptures and various areas. In particular, although any works have not been found by Hee Jang(熙藏), the main sclpture of Busan Sunamsa temple Amitabha Buddha so far, new data has been discovered which is votive documents of Sunamsa temple Amitabha Buddha. This figure of Sunamsa temple is the oldest wooden buddhist sculpture in Busan area during the Joseon Dynasty, its historical background and the enshrined reasons would be considered afterwards.
