“ The beauty of octagonal structure, the heritage of 1,000 years”

 

 

 

 

 

Located in Yeongoksa Temple in Gurye, Jeollanam-do, National Treasure No. 53 has a history of 1,000 years. Although this stone Stupa had gone through conflagration as many as three times, it is carved with beautiful and detailed illustration on the surface of the stone. The elaborate sculpture that depicts the truth of Buddhism shines even after 1,000 years and the fire. We refined and restored the sophisticated sculptures of the Stupa by computer graphics, and proceeded making them useful in real life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The East Stupa of Yeongoksa Temple features a detailed roof and eaves in octagonal shape. It is recognized for its value as a stone Stupa that embodies the wooden architecture. The octagonal shape, the symbol of the East Stupa, brought the idea of making an octagonal shape of an incense holder. Not only scent is used in Buddhism to purify the mind, but also it is now popular among non-believers. Along with scented candles, incense sticks and holders, they are consumed as a hobby that creates a good scent and calms one’s mind. Moreover, we applied the motif of the East Stupa to the products to keep national treasures in our lives and enjoy them.
