Gyehoido originated from China and the culture of painting Gyehoido started in the Koryo period(918-1392) with its final form established in the 16th century, the period in which the school of Neo-Confucianism was completed.
'The Art of Meeting and Departing,' which will be shown at Hakgojae Gallery in Insa-dong, Seoul, from September 1 to 30, is a good opportunity to appreciate the changes in form Gyehoido went through since the Koryo Dynasty.
This exhibition, which is co-sponsored by Yoo Hong-june (a professor at Yeungnam University) and Lee Tae-ho (a professor at Chungnam University), is special in the sense that it is the first time ever that Gyehoido have been shown to the general public.
