I am always focusing on the patterns of the front window, while I come by Buddhist temple.
The patterns of windows of the temples seemed to tell me something about their history.
I’m not sure that the time building temples could be identified or not, according to the patterns of the windows.
In my experience, the more complicated patterns of the windows, the earlier the temples had been built. I don’t think there exists the principle between the patterns and the time of being built. But in my thought, there would be some relevancy to each other.
The patterns of the windows in Geuk Lak Bo Jeon were so amazing with its simplicity and the repetition. The simple form of the pattern was extended to the whole windows. It seemed like to made me concentrate on the pattern itself.
There are lots of different patterns in the windows.
Below is the one of the most splendid patterns in Sshang Gyeo Sa temple built in Choson dynasty.

The feelings are different depend on the patterns sometimes.
