T'aenghwa (Hangul: 탱화, translation: "hanging-painting";[1] alternate: Hwaom zhenghua)[2] is a characteristic type of Korean Buddhist visual art.[3] A genre of Buddhist art, the paintings of icons can be on hanging scrolls, or framed pictures, or wall-paintings.[1] T'aenghwa may be small, private and made for indoor display, or large and made for outdoor display.[4] The craft is considered an extension of an earlier tradition of mural painting. There are no manuals that describe t'aenghwa painting, instead, the tradition preserves its models through paper stencils.[5] Though most of the Koryo era t'aenghwa are held in Japanese collections, museums in Berlin, Boston, and Cologne carry some as well.[1]
