Sagyeong art involves Korean transcriptions of ancient Buddhist scripture.
It uses brush strokes that can fit in the space of just a millimeter, something that requires intense concentration.
Our Kim Bo-kyoung reports.
The art of Sagyeong Korean Sutra transcription goes beyond ultrafine art.
Buddhism first came to Korea in the year 372 AD, and monks learned the sayings of Buddha through copying the Buddhist doctrine in a process known as Sagyeong .
After woodblock printing began, Sagyeong became a form of art.
The boundaries of Sagyeong expanded; the materials varied from ink to gold, and experts began drawing the messages of Buddha.
