Old Korean buildings are diverse and ever-changing in structure as they were built by overlapping and piling timbers and laying them crisscross.
Therefore, various kinds of decorations were used.
The decoration patterns of building parts and elements are varied in form to suit their characteristics.
As decoration patterns of building parts and elements have specific characters and are attractive, they take an important position which cannot be excluded from tanchong (red-and-blue painting) pattern decoration.
