Origin of Thirty-Two Manifestations of Avalokitesvara in Dogapsa Temple:Analysis and Status Quo Counter-draw of a Painting Stored at Chion-in Temple,Japan
The painting Thirty-Two Manifestations of Avalokitesvara of the Early Joseon period,currently stored at Chion-in Temple,Japan,is one of the Buddhist paintings of the Joseon period found overseas after being reported missing.It depicts three scenes of Avalokitesvara's removing sufferings,providing happiness,and granting wishes based on The Lotus Sutra of Wondrous Dharma:Avalokitesvara and the Universal Gate(hereinafter referred to as the Universal Gate).After examination,it was found that the painting kept at Chion-in Temple has most of its components painted based on the printed copies depicting the Universal Gate which were popular in China during early Ming Dynasty,and that through painting component rearrangement,a unique,single scroll painting characterized by the Universal Gate came into being,wherein,the mountains and waters are laid out in the same style as Li Guo's,such as rocks appearing like ghosts'faces and tree branches crab's claws.However,short lines and ink dots stacked on top of each other are often used to create the texture of mountain rocks,making the rocks appear thicker,heavier,and rich in texture,and are considered the unique techniques created under the influence of An Gyeon during the Joseon period.The painting techniques typi-cal of the Joseon period were applied to create the front view of Avalokitesvara,which to a certain extent is related to the painting of different manifestations of Avalokitesvara in Fahai Temple,China.The painting Thirty-Two Manifestations of Avalokitesvara stored in Dogapsa Temple is a copy of a painting stored in Chion-in Temple,Japan.The replica,including its primary draft and coloring,was produced by staff of the National Research Institute of Cul-tural Heritage of South Korea using traditional copying techniques in 2005 in Japan.Even though modern technologies can digitally preserve cultural heritage,replicas of cultural heritage including paintings still are irreplaceable.The replica of Thirty-Two Manifesta-tions of Avalokitisevara kept at Dogapsa Temple serves as a reference for a painting replica being a cultural heritage of South Korea and even the whole East Asia.
