오대산 상원사 불복장 저고리에 관한 고찰

Abstract

There is a boy Manjushri statue and a Manjushri statue in Munsujeon of Sangwonsa Temple, located in Odaesan Mountain, Gangwondo. The boy Manjushri statue was made in 1466 and inside the statue were two jeoksams(unlined jacket worn for summer or undershirt) made in the style of the early Joseon jeogori(jacket). One is made from plain silk and the other from plain gauze. The artifacts found in the statue were designated as Treasure no.793 and were labled as ‘Plain Weave Jeoksam’ and ‘Silk Tabby Jeoksam’. However, the silk tabby jeoksam is made from plain gauze, and therefore needs to be renamed. A jeogori with decorative patches was found in the process of opening of the Manjushri statue in 1973, which was designated as Important Folklore Material no.219 and was named ‘Jeogori with Decorative Patches from King Sejo’s Era’ in 1987. The Manjushri statue was made in 1661, but the jeogori shows characteristics of jeogori from the early Joseon period, and therefore it is considered that the Manjushri statue was not the statue that the jeogori was originally enshrined in. According to the balweonmun(letter of vow) of the Manjushri statue written by Princess Uisuk, eight Buddha and Bodhisattva statues as well as Nahan statues were created and ensrhined in Munsusa in 1466, which also shows the possibility that the jeogori was originally enshrined in a different statue made in during that time. Therefore, the jeogori with decorative patches here needs to be renamed also. The style of the jeogori may be of the early Joseon dynasty, but it is not clear whether it is during the era of King Sejo, and therefore must be renamed as “Jeogori with Decorative Patches”.
