Stones that stay with Jeju, even in death 🗿

People of Jeju, who have lived with stones,
return once more
to the embrace of stone in their final moments.

The “Sandam,” stone walls surrounding graves,
separate the boundary between the dead and the living,
yet include a “Shinmun” passage
that allows movement between the two—
a structure symbolizing coexistence.

At the same time,
they protect the graves
from wild animals and livestock 🐗

From the beginning of life to its end,
stones remain by one’s side.

In Jeju, stone is not just nature,
but a part of life and death itself.

Jeju Stone Park is
continuing research, documentation, and exchange
with the goal of inscribing
“Jeju Stone Wall Construction”
as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity 🌍
