in the year of King Gyeongdeok of Silla (a country in ancient Korea).
The bridge is called Wol-jeong-gyo
In the actual picture, the bridge is straight, but the old record says that the bridge looks like a rainbow, so it is presumed that the original shape was arched
About 100 years ago, Korean independence fighters who were caught resisting the Japanese Empire actually sang the song in prison. Their descendants made the song known to the world and only the lyrics were conveyed without melody, so artists composed the melody to match the song and completed the song.
I drew a scene that comes to mind after listening to the song. I didn't come up with an idea for the latter part, so I only worked on the beginning part
Traditional Korean bows are made with buffalo horns. So, they are as elastic as a rubber band.
The distance from the Korean archery to the target is 145 m (about 470 feet, 158 yards).
The reason why I separated the bow in the first picture is that the Korean bow is originally bent in a C-shape. It bends in reverse and fixes it with strings.
So I keep the strings and the bow separately when I'm not using it.
If you don't keep it like that, the bow will strain and break it later.
The silk you see in the picture is a bow belt. You can keep it with an arrow or put your belongings inside because it has a pocket.
The ring on it is called a 'Kkak-ji', which is a tool to protect your fingers from getting hurt by the strap and to make sure they are easily tied.
