Temple Tiles, Sun Cheon, Korea

Posted by Aidan Hammond (Seoul, South Korea) on 4 September 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Song Gwang Sa Temple is located on the southern coast of South Korea.
Most temples that you visit in Korea are selling roof tiles. You purchase a tile and write a message on it. When it is time to re-tile the roof, the temple uses the tile and your message becomes part of the temple. This kind of scene can be seen at a number of temples in Korea.
