Many halls stood in the precinct of Bulguksa. And a huge statue of human beings in this photo was one of them. Although it was huge, its face was humorous disproportionally. Looking closer, it grabbed a dragon in its hand effortless. It opened its mouth wide and seemed to be shouting the death throes. Yet it seemed to be impossible to break free from the giant.
Perhaps, this statue was allegorical. However, I didn't know what kind of story they want to tell by these statues.
