RE: Panjeon, a building for keeping Buddhist scriptures in Bongeunsa Temple

in #dblog5 years ago

Once again I am back after busy days. What I found interesting is calligraphy, seeing the old movies about South East and those letters it is a ceremony to write such symbols, where a special hold of a brush required and the whole movements in wrist and arms that may make the writings different. That is a real art.

The same was in old Europe, reading old books that we still have from my hubby's grandparents the books written in old German with those letters that are difficult to read but the fascinating thing is also to see hand writings from old time.

It is a shame that the temple was already shut. Nevertheless thank you for the pictures of the exterior of the temple :)

From your comment, I could guess writing was part of art in many cultures in the past. Maybe it is because literacy was a privilege in the old days. Thank you for your comment. Have a nice day!
