Summary
| Description |
English: This late Joseon-era Korean painting depicts Jikbu-saja (직부사자/直符使者), a Buddhist divinity who serves Yama, the king of death. This deity visits the houses of the newly dead to take their souls away to the afterlife. It would have been hung in a Buddhist temple's Myeongbu-jeon, a pavilion where the Ten Kings of Naraka (Buddhist purgatory) are worshipped, but is now found in the National Museum of Korea in Seoul. |
