A Consideration on the Kyunamchi in Puyo, Korea

Abstract

We studied the Kyunamchi, a palatial garden pond in puyo, Korea through historical materials and a survey. The garden is said to have been constructed in 634 according to the description of Sangokushiki, and in fact the pond and its island in the paddy field give an image of the garden. We studied the way of introducing water from a river to the pond through the description of the Sangokushiki, and analyzed the area around the pond by actual surveying, and inferred the original shape of the pond.
