Opinions are various among the scholars about the country where National Treasure No. 78 Pensive Bodhisattva, a monumental work from the age of the Three Korean Kingdoms, was created. Of course, it is not the purpose of this study to find which of the three kingdoms was the country where National Treasure No. 78 Pensive Bodhisattva was made. In consideration of the relationship between this statue and Chinese half‐seated Buddha statues in meditation created during the period from the late Eastern Wei Dynasty to the early Northern Qi Dynasty in China, however, it is highly likely that this statue might be created in Silla in around the late 6th century under the reign of King Jinheung. This presumption was derived more from the social, political, and religious situation of those days rather than from the stylistic characteristics of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla Buddhist sculptures. Style analysis is more important than anything else in research of art history, but at least for Buddhist sculptures from the age of the Three Korean Kingdoms, it is difficult to tell differences in style among them. It is because it is hardly possible to find answers based on the currently available Buddhist sculptures from the three kingdoms, which are very limited. What is more, the equally active exchange of Baekje and Silla with the Chinese Southern and Northern Dynasties in the late 6th century and the frequent trades among the three kingdoms made a significant contribution to the removal of ‘boundary’ among the Buddhist sculptures of the three kingdoms. This study attempted to rethink whether Buddhist sculptures created during the age of the Three Korean Kingdoms have clearly distinguishable characteristics for each country. Previous studies might have tried to grasp the characteristics of Buddhist sculptures using only those that were considered valuable ‘at present.’ In this situation, the conceptualization of the characteristics of Buddhist statues from Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla and the efforts to identify the origin of Buddhist sculptures are likely to engender another distortion.
