Description 작품 소개
A gorgeously illustrated guide to Korea’s most unforgettable mountain temples
“It occurred to me that expanding my understanding of space might coincide with expanding my understanding of life.”
A coffee table book, graphic novel, and travel essay rolled into one, Mountain Temple Weekends takes the reader on a journey to seven unique Korean temples, ranging from UNESCO Heritage sites to an unexpected sanctuary right in the middle of Seoul. Author Yoon Seol-hee began to visit mountain temples in search of spaces that depart from the cramped cubicles endemic to urban life. Her colloquial and meditative voice, paired with pen illustrations reminiscent of traditional ink wash paintings, offers the perfect entry point for readers looking to deepen their understanding of Korean culture . or any reader in search of lasting beauty and serenity in a turbulent world.
“Reading this book is a form of meditation.”
“You can feel the dawn’s rays reaching into the temple – that’s the level of dedication you sense reading this book.”
“ A book you’ll want to keep and revisit time and again. With delicate pen-and-ink illustrations woven together like a comic, it’s an easy read that offers inspiration every time you pick it up.”
-Reader reviews
“A Millenial or Gen Z approach to mountain temples… There is plenty of information, but it’s presented without leaning on a didactic voice. The author demonstrates that one can only see as much as one knows – and feels.”
— Hankyoreh
“ The dense dots and delicate lines drawn with a 0.05mm or 0.1mm fine-tip pen seem to echo the sound of a temple’s wooden bell.”
— Joseon Ilbo
