Buddhist Picture, Cultural Legacy of Korea
Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- The cultural legacies of Korea include Buddhist picture, which made contribution to developing the techniques of Korean painting.

This picture well shows features of the Korean painting technique through skillful combination of traditional line drawing technique and color display.

Most of the pictures of this kind are based on the excellent techniques of Korean painting such as telling yet delicate touch. They left much to be desired in content and form, but successfully represented the artistic talent and affect of ancestors and national feelings.

Typical of them are pictures displayed at Ryangchon, Kaesim and Wonmyong temples in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
