| This is the San-shin painting found in the Mountain-spirit Shrine of Jiri-san Samshin-san Hyeongje-bong Jitong-sa Temple in 1999. Its age is unknown, but it was probably done in the 1960s or so. It is rather crudely-done, standard and entirely unexceptional. |

| Jitong-sa Humble Temple in the Bucheon-ri Valley in the Central-South Sector of Jiri-san (West of Samshin-bong) |

Jitong-sa is on the western slope of Jiri's central-south Hyeongje-bong
[Brother Peak, a very common name] (1115m), part of the long ridge running
up to Gwaneum-bong (1171m) that forms the top of the Akyang Valley, and
on up to the very sacred Samshin Peak. This small temple, with nothing very
interesting about it, is found about halfway up the 6-km-long Bucheon-ri
[Behind Stream Village] Valley], through which runs the Shin-gi-cheon
Stream. This is part of Hwagye-myeon District of Hadong-gun County, the
next valley east from the famous Hwagye-dong Valley; further to the east is
the Akyang Valley of Akyang-myeon District. This is a very-seldom-visited
area of Jiri-san, pretty far south of the National Park boundary.
