Seven Jeweled Mountain, late 1800s. Creator: Unknown
Seven Jeweled Mountain, late 1800s. With a bird s-eye view, this ten-panel folding screen portrays the famous Seven Jeweled Mountain ??? in North Korea. Ancient volcanic eruptions shaped the mountains unique and awe-inspiring terrain such as phallic-shaped pillars (panel #5, from the right); a large flat-topped, steep-sided cliff (panels #7 and #8), and a rugged mountain composed of metamorphic and igneous rocks (panels #9 and #10). The tradition of landscape painting that details actual natural sites and captures their topographic features in Korea began in the 1700s and continued onward. While such natural wonders were beloved as popular destinations for tourism and pilgrimage, after the Korean War (1950-53), these sites in North Korea are no longer accessible to the outside world. This folding screen detailing the mountains distinctive topography feeds our imagination and longing for such an unattainable place
