T'oham from Bulguksa itself, Sokkuram is justifiably world famous. It has been designated National Treasure No. 24. More recently, in December 1995, together with Bulguksa it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list. *History Sokkuram was carved at about the same time as Bulguksa was originally constructed, in the middle of the 8th century during the reign of the Silla King Kyongdok. Its grandeur, indeed, has been related by some scholars to the increasing deployment of Buddhism as a ruling ideology at the time. Legendarily it was the work of Prime Minister Kim Taesong, who also planned Bulguksa, and was constructed to honor the parents of his former life (see Bulguksa section). However, some details, particularly the placement of the central Buddha statue such that it gazes precisely in the direction of the underwater tomb of King Munmu located just off the coast in the East Sea, suggest that the carvings may have been executed to glorify the king or the royal lineage instead. During the Choson period, or at least during portions of it, Buddhism was officially discouraged and both Bulguksa and Sokkuram fell into disrepair. The story is sometimes told that Sokkuram was rediscovered by a Japanese postman taking shelter on T'oham Mountain in 1909. It is, however, probably something of an overstatement to say that it had been completely forgotten by local people up until that point. "Rediscovery" might be more accurately described as "discovery for the Japanese authorities," who at that moment just prior to formal annexation had a great interest in Korean antiquities, and indeed had for some years. *Restoration and preservation The various attempts to repair and renovate Sokkuram during the twentieth century form a complex narrative in themselves and are the focus of a good deal of controversy. One fundamental reason is that, while the artistic importance of Sokkuram's carvings is readily apparent, the complexity and subtlety of the engineering that went into the original construction of the cave have often been inadequately appreciated. Those with a special interest in such matters may wish to visit the Silla Science History Museum, located in Kyongju's Folk Craft Village, where the design and repair of Sokkuram is explained more extensively by means of a series of displays and cutaway models. Between 1913 and 1915, the grotto was dismantled as part of the original repair effort undertaken by the Japanese authorities. During this process, a complex infrastructure of stone was found beneath the visible carvings. This design had permitted the circulation of air, regulating the temperature of the inner chamber. A lack of appreciation for the reasons for this design, however, led to the decision to repair the chamber using cement. As a result, air circulation was blocked, and the stones began to sweat, leading to a serious water leakage problem that threatened the integrity of the sculptures. A second reconsruction effort in 1920, focused on waterproofing, did something to alleviate the immediate threat but did not fix the underlying problem. Finally, between 1961 and 1964, a further effort was made under the auspices of UNESCO; air conditioning and heating were installed at this point to regulate the temperature of the chamber precisely. While this restoration program has stabilized the situation, it is no improvement over the original design, and is far from ideal for other reasons: the glass window that now separates visitors from the inner chamber is partially justified by the need to control the chamber's air temperature.
