Korean Pronunciation: Mun-Mu teul Pattern History: Mun-Mu [文武] honors
the 30th King of the Silla Dynasty. His body was buried near Dae Wang Am (Great King's Rock). According to his will,
the body was placed in the sea "where my soul shall forever defend my land against the Japanese." It is said that
the Seokgulam (Stone Cave) was built to guard his tomb. The Seokgulam is a fine example of the culture of the Silla
Dynasty. The 61 movements in this pattern symbolize the last two figures of 661 A.D. when Mun-Mu came to the throne.
