Korea: Kam Mo Yo Je Do (spirit house shrine). Cloth folk painting from the Chosôn Dynasty, 17th century. Generally the history of Korean painting is dated to approximately 108 , when it first appears as an independent form. Between that time and the paintings and frescoes that appear on the Goryeo dynasty tombs, there has been little research. Suffice to say that until the Joseon dynasty the primary influence was Chinese painting though done with Korean landscapes, facial features, Buddhist topics and an emphasis on celestial observation due to the rapid development of Korean astronomy.
