At Seokguram Grotto, and almost all other Korean Temples we visited, the wooden eaves and rooflines are painted in a highly colorful and decorative manner that is striking and beautiful. It is one of the more “Korean” flavors to what is otherwise a pan-asian Buddhist architecture. I think the rooflines are more understated in China, and certainly in Japan. If anything this style reminds me more of temples of Tibetan Buddhism and uber-colorful Hindu temples. (Photograph taken in July 2013)
