Manufacturing Technique Characteristics of the ｢Shide (monk)｣ Mural Painting in Yeongsanjeon Hall, Seonunsa Temple, Gochang

In this study, in order to understand the manufacturing technique characteristics of the ｢Shide (monk)｣ mural painting in Yeongsanjeon Hall, Seonunsa Temple, Gochang, we conducted microscopic, SEM-EDS, XRD, particle size analysis, FT-IR, and starch-iodine reactions. As a result of the study, the ｢Shide (monk)｣ mural painting reflects the manufacturing style of Joseon Dynasty temple murals that have been studied to date, in terms of the composition of the wall and the material characteristics, such as the pigments used. However, the fact that the middle layer has not been confirmed and that there are multiple ground layers below the painting layer is confirmed by the unique manufacturing technique that can only be found in the ｢Shide (monk)｣ mural painting in Yeongsanjeon Hall, Seonunsa Temple. In particular, the technique in which the surface of the finishing layer is coated with a carbohydrate-based adhesive component and a coarse-grained layer is plastered on top of it is considered to be a different characteristic from the composition trend of the Buddhist mural painting previously studied. It is believed that the results of this research on the manufacturing techniques and characteristics of the ｢Shide (monk)｣ mural painting can contribute to establishing a direction for conservation treatment of murals in Yeongsanjeon and preparing long-term conservation plans. It is also hoped that it will provide important materials for research into the characteristics of the manufacturing techniques and conservation management of murals inspected during the late Joseon Dynasty.
