As I told before, there were various kinds of arhats. In this post, I’d like to show you arhats putting on a cap to escape from the cold weather.
As I wrote in previous post, Winter weather in Korea was severe. Korea peninsular was directly influenced from Siberian wind in Winter.
To overcome cold weather, people in Korea often used caps and hats.
So putting on the hat when going outside was said as a manner.
Now everything is changed, putting on the hat is no more a manner.
I was a woman taking a photo of arhat. She must be a passionate photographer. She'd took a photo for nearly half hour there.
So I photographed her and arhat with a respect to her passion.
In arhats statues, I saw what I saw when I was a kid. It was a cap what arhats put on. In winter, I could not go outside without a cap. Mom and grandma told me ‘put on a cap’ every time in winter.
Seeing arhats with caps, I was reminded of my childhood.
