Bodhisattva statue (Gwaneum?) in front of Sanshin is a remarkable and rare phenomenon. Good modern painting, but based on a standard traditional one. I like the "framed" twin peaks behind him... And, while that is in function a Samseong-gak, note that its signboard reads "Sanshin-gak" instead -- probably from a previous gak and they just moved it here rather than make a new Samseong-gak sign... Which one of the triad was in the center here -- Chilseong as usual? or Sanshin? Was Sanshin on the left...?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that it was Gwanseeum-bosal as well in front of the Sanshin painting. I'm not sure if I've ever seen it before. I was actually most impressed with the realism of the accompanying painting that I didn't even notice the twin peaks in the painting. As for the Samseong-gak, it was a traditional set-up with Chilseong in the centre with Sanshin to the left and Dokseong to the right.
