Abstract

Since its foundation in the unified Silla period, Sunam Temple in Jeollanam-do has well preserved its reputation as a representative temple in Honam. However, during the course of history as the temple went through many changes and development, much of its landscape identity were lost or damaged. At present, we found that some of distinctive features as traditional Korean temple are lost or damaged in Sunam temple and in some cases, Japanese style features were applied which calls for urgent restoration to the original landscape style. We found that vegetation pattern of Sunam temple was quite different from those of traditional Korean temples and garden components were rather similar to Japanese garden style. There are two reasons why these changes occurred to Sunam-temple. The first reason is changes made to the temple by Japanese people during the Japanese occupation period in Korea. The second is the renovation effort of the entire temple in 1976. The study aimed to examine landcape changes of Sunam temple in detail and understand Japanese style landscape components and methods applied to the Sunam temple to untimately understand landscape identity of Sunam temple. On-site research, literature research and interviews with monks were conducted and we found that Sunam-sa Temple was significantly influenced by the landscape style of Japan, and that more Japanese-style landscapes were produced while trying to hide these elements. However, this study was limited in understanding the very original landscape form of Sunam temple before the Japanese coloniral era.

전라남도의 선암사는 통일신라말에 창건된 이래 오늘날까지 호남의 대표적인 사찰로서 그 법통을 이어가고 있으나, 거듭되는 변화와 발전과정 속에서 전통사찰이 가지고 있어야 하는 경관적 정체성이 상당부분 훼손되었으며, 특히 일본양식이 도입되어 있어 경관의 원형상에 대한 회복이 시급한 상황이다. 실제로 선암사의 경우에는 한국전통사찰에서 나타나는 전통성있는 식재경관과는 상이하며, 정원요소들도 일본식에 가깝다고 할 수 있다. 이렇게 선암사의 원형경관이 변형된 원인 중 가장 중요한 것은 일제강점기에 일본인들에 의해 이루어진 변화와 1976년도에 있었던 조경사업으로 인한 변화라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 경관적 변화를 파악하고, 일본식 정원요소와 작정기법이 어떻게 나타나고 있는지를 파악함으로써, 선암사의 경관적 정체성을 파악하는 것이 연구의 주 목적이다. 연구의 방법으로는 문헌조사, 현장조사, 스님과의 인터뷰를 통해 진행하였으며 그 결과, 선암사는 일본의 조경양식으로부터 상당한 영향을 받은 것이 파악되었으며, 이러한 요소를 감추려다 오히려 더 일본식 경관이 연출되었다는 것도 알 수 있었다.
