진관사 감로왕도의 복원적 고찰 = A Restorative Study on the Amita-raja Painting at the Jingwan-sa Temple

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Jingwan-sa Temple maintained a close relationship with the royal family from King Mokjong (997-1009) in the Koryo Dynasty to the Chosun Dynasty. From the beginning of the Chosun Dynasty, the King Taejo visited the temple in person and performed the National Suryuk Service in 1397, and since the construction of Suryuk-sa and designation as the center of the Suryuk Service it was settled as a noted Buddhist temple. As the Jingwan-sa Temple was settled as a great Buddhist temple thanks to its Suryuk Service for guiding dead souls to heaven, it is obvious that banner paintings and Amita-raja paintings might have be created and enshrined in the temple, but the contents of the paintings are not clear because there are no paintings extant at the temple. It may be hard to make accurate analysis without any related information like photographs, but we could infer the icons of the Amita-raja painting at the Jingwan-sa Temple, which was created in 1856 based on Amita-raja paintings in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do in the 19th-20th centuries according to related records in Chodangjip, Gwonseonmun, Hangukminsokgo and Sadanggo, to some degree on a restorative dimension. According to the results of this study, first, as shown in the Amita-raja Painting from the Suguk-sa Temple in Mt. Manwol created in 1832 and the Amita-raja painting from the Hogukjijang-sa Temple created in 1893 kept in Guimet Museum in Paris, France, seven Buddhas might be arranged in a line on the top and the background of dancing monks on the right side of the middle part (facing the left side) might be treated as a folding screen. Second, according to the pattern of Amita-raja paintings created by monk painters Jincheol, Chukyeon, Eungseok, etc. who led the Buddhist projects at the Jingwan-sa Temple during the 19th-20th centuries, seven Buddhas might be arranged on the top, and then standards for the Trikaya including ``Beopsinbiro Buddha,`` ``Wonmanbosinnosana Buddha,`` and ``Baekeokhwasin Shakyamuni Buddha`` might be hung on the upper side of Banseungdae, and to the left and right might be deployed the descending Amitabha Trikaya along with Inrowang Bodhisattva and Jijang Bodhisattva. In the middle part, praising, singing and dancing monks under a shading tent might be painted, and to the left and right of the Devil King and on the bottom are various scenes of customs, perils and hell might be depicted. Although these inferences may not be satisfactory in many aspects because of insufficient materials, if more clear materials are found and research is conducted based on type classification in the future, it will be possible to restore the Amita-raja painting at the Jingwan- sa Temple.
