The Gisagyecheob, designated as Treasure No. 638, is a silk album with colored paintings and writings made to commemorate the ceremony that King Sukjong (1675~1720) held with his high-level subjects over the age of 70, to celebrate his own 60th birthday. Work on the Gisagyecheob began in 1719 and was completed in 1720, after King Sukjong's death. It is composed of a total of twelve volumes. Contained in the Gisagyecheob are an introduction, writings by King Sukjong, five paintings of the ceremony, a list of participants, portraits and poems of ten members, and a list of those who produced the work itself. An accurately dated and well preserved complete volume of the Gisagyecheob was revealed for the first time in this exhibition, thereby providing important information on the history of painting, clothing, and traditional culture.
