A Unique Banchado: The Documentary Painting of King Jeongjos Royal Procession to Hwaseong in 1795

English

By (author): Han Young-woo

Fully illustrated in colour, here is the first introduction in English to one of Koreas outstanding cultural assets the banchado (painting of the order of guests at a royal event) relating to all those taking part (1800 people) in the eight-day royal procession to Hwaseong (Gyeonggi Province) organized by King Jeongjo in 1795 for the dual purpose of visiting his fathers tomb and celebrating his mothers sixtieth birthday. The banchado is a fine example of the meticulous record-keeping of the period (known as uigwe the subject-matter of this book being known as the Wonhaeng eulmyo jeongni uigwe) and the skills of the court artists at that time. In addition to the banchado illustrations, the Wonhaeng eulmyo jeongni uigwe contains extensive lists of all the participants in the procession, details of the workers and technicians involved, including their duties and wages. It even includes the different foods offered at meal-times, the quantity of ingredients and the costs. The author provides a full analysis of the context, planning, execution and significance of the event. See more
