  • ... that the Naewat-dang shamanic paintings (example pictured) were discovered when a university professor encountered a nearly eighty-year-old homeless woman living in a cave?
    Source: "그의 사망 후 집안이 몰락하자 그 부인이 집을 팔고 제주시 산지천(山地川) 가까이에 있는 남수각 근처의 굴 속에서 살 때 이들 무신도와 무구 등도 이곳으로 옮겼다. 1959년 현용준 교수가 우연히 이곳을 지나다가 뱃가에서 어떤 한 노인이 무슨 이상한 그림을 가지고 이리저리 짝을 맞추고 있는 것을 보고 이상하게 생각하여 확인한 결과 그 한 노인은 고임생의 부인이고 그림들은 내왓당의 무신도이며 그림은 전부 10폭이라는 것을 알았다... 고임생의 처는 1959년 처음 만났을 때 거의 팔십 살에 가까웠다고 한다" ("After his [Go Im-saeng's] death, the family was [economically] ruined. His wife sold the house and lived inside a cave near the Namsu Pavilion close to the Sanji Stream in Jeju City, where she moved the paintings in question and other ritual implements. In 1959, Professor Hyun Yong-jun [then of Jeju National University] happened to pass by and saw an old woman by the side of a boat arranging certain strange paintings here and there. Thinking this odd, he inquired into her and discovered that the woman was the wife of Go Im-saeng, that the paintings were the shamanic paintings of Naewat-dang, and that there were ten paintings in total... [Hyun Yong-jun] recounts that Go Im-saeng's wife was nearly eighty years old when they first met in 1959.") (Hyun Y., Ha H. & Lee S. 2001, pp. 5-6)
