Traditional Korean Dancheong

Throughout Korea, as you visit various Royal Palaces and Buddhist temples, you might notice that the undersides of the roofs are painted in beautiful patterns and colors. This is Dancheong (단청) - a traditional decorative coloring for style based on five basic colors: blue (east), white (west), red (south), black (north), and yellow (center).

I really like the repetitiveness and harmony of both the architectural style and dancheong. Taken at Jogye Temple in central Seoul.
