Abstract

Although Buddhist painting of Goryeo was treated with a different status compared to Japanese and Chinese Buddhist painting in Japan, practical research, such as copy restoration, are unexpectedly showing active progress. There are various reasons, including difficulty in interpreting coloring techniques, however, the main reason is because there are probably many denied attempts to copy the principle icon, the main subject of religious beliefs, since Goryeo Buddhist are fundamentally treated as secret statue of ‘Budda’ in Japanese temples and shrines. The purpose of this dissertation is to mainly introduce the ‘moonlight’ among the copy restoration process of the original ‘Water-Moon Avalokiteshvara painting’, which did not receive great attention from the Korean and Japanese researchers in the area of conducting restoration research of Goryeo Buddhist painting.
