Hey @slowwalker, thank you for taking us in this gallery of wonderful photo gallery, you are right one pillar gate in Tongdo-sa Temple has similarity with Songkwang-sa temple gate, but you can easily see on picture enormous size of size of one pillar gate of Songkwang-sa temple, the car passing through it looks very small. The ornaments under the roof of both gates have similarity too.
I like the the diamond warriors’ gate, but paradise gate with its with its painting of diamond warrior is amazing, usually in ancient time the used natural pigments, for example Ochre in order to get the shades of red.
We are lucky being able to see that beauty nowadays in very good preserved form.
Thank you for the historical tour, Cheers, Stef1 and@art-venture
