The Painter of Wind
Episode 10
Congratulations! Dan Won
What is going on? I thought you will be a sore loser
As you know all too well, that this competition was not based on one’s ability to paint.
Joseon have you, this type of capability & ability which allows you to become Oh Ji Hwa Sa. This is really unforeseen and out of the ordinary
Do you wish to return?
Such a small & narrow nation like Joseon, what else is there to do? I should leave
Don’t you miss this?
What is there to miss? This can be express by 1-2 sentences, it should do well. So I need to leave
I don’t know, if this lifetime, whether we will be able to meet again or not? Safe journey
You should be careful. There are some people who are paying a lot of attention to this competition.
It is far than you expected, they are of very high ranking officials
Are you worried and concerned about my well being?
We are the same league as Artist. We were once in brotherhood under the same Master. This is my sincere advice to you.
There are people who wish & hope to see you at fault. They are now paying very close attention to you & the “Reckless” here.
Please be sure that you don’t ever forget that
Let’s ride on, Hong Young

That will be all. Tomorrow morning, we will sent the robes to you once we made it
I’m off Teacher
Well done
From now onwards, both of you need to admire & appreciate, Joseon Dynasty 1st King Taejo’s portrait painting
The Portrait isn’t merely a painting. The portrait painting is a representative of the King’s possession of his power mandate of heaven.
There when you see the portrait, you can’t appreciate it like a normal painting, you need to give the same respect as though you were to see that person before you.
Next, now you need to pay your respect to the Joseon Dynasty 1st King Taejo.
Chusan Chona’s portrait differs from any normal portrait painting.
Chusan Chona need to rule the mandate in the placing above the ten thousands that below him & should be different than any other ordinary portrait.
Therefore the face features must been drawn without a sentiment of emotion as the sense of time passing.
When drawing the portrait, you may not show the hand, the hands must be all times be under the sleeves.
This is Joseon that Confucian ideology that governs this nation. Both hands are seen holding one another as a sign of determine stature.
Having left & right precise balance, the significance no matter what if that person is left right top or bottom, there is the sense that the King is expecting to treat in regardless to class & creed in his nation’s citizen.
This is the Divinity of a portrait painting. You need to be precise with your every slightest of strokes not to be lost that divinity.
Moles, Pigmentation, Scars blemishes must not be drawn. You now need to drawn the portrait of the King, it should of this standard.
From tomorrow onward you need to commence your duties of Oh Ji Hwa Sa. Today you need to cleanse your body & take a good rest
Yes
Teacher, this is such a massive task, can we do this well?
Are you so worried?
Yes
There is no need to worry. We will just need to do each matter one at the time conscientiously & earnestly, it will be fine.
Until now, you have done very well, Little bean
What are you waiting for? Let us go…go…little bean
Yes
Yun Bok?
Yes
Are you going to wash up?
Yes
That’s fine, let’s wash up
Ah! Teacher, why don’t you do it 1st?
No need, you wash up 1st. I want to take a rest before washing up
Can I will go & wash up, Teacher? Then I will go & wash up
The hot bath is already prepare for you
Thank you
You should be careful. There are some people who are paying a lot of attention to this competition.
It is far than you expected, they are of very high ranking officials. There are people who wish & hope to see you at fault.
They are now paying very close attention to you & the “Reckless” here. Please be sure that you don’t ever forget that
Who are they actually? Where are they, paying close attention to us from?
What is this for?
Teacher! Can I really able to do well?
Until now, you have done very well!
Hasn’t he not finished with it yet?
Yes
Oh Ho! That little brat is he kneading dough to make soup noodles to cook to eat?
Why do you need half the day to bath?
Ah! Teacher, please get out….get out…get out
Hey, you gave me a scare
Teacher, please leave!!!!
What is there that you are so frighten to react in such a way?
Please leave!!! Please get out of here quickly!!!!
Please leave quickly!!!!!
What is going on here?
Get out! Get out! Get out!!!!
It is alright….alright. It may be that the water is way too hot
How can you unexpectedly treat your teacher like that?
Please leave quickly!!! Teacher, please!!!!!
What is wrong with you actually? Have you eaten something wrong?
Oh!…Oh!
Oh Ho! You are really a joke…a joke. You better hurry up and come out. Teacher wants to quickly have his bath too & go to sleep
Teacher…that bandage? Where did you find that bandage?
This…was found thrown on the floor at the room. I just use it to tie to bundle my….
Yes. That bandage is mine, Teacher. Please give it back to me, Teacher. Please give it back to me, Teacher
This little brat, if the teacher is really in need, even if it needs you to take off your clothes for it, you should give it to me. Why are you so worked up with this piece of bandage?
That is….
What is this for?
That is…..When we are drawing it is used to tie up the sleeves, Teacher?
Then when it is the time to draw, then I will return this back to you. Why do you insist that you want me to give this to you now?
Ah! That is because…..If i need to use it tomorrow, it will be a rush. Anyhow just give that back to me, Teacher, give it back to me quickly
There is the same one exactly here?
Teacher!!!!!
What great use this thing is for? Why didn’t you tell me about this?
Please….Teacher….give it back to me!!!!! Give it back, please!!!!
Anyhow you already finished soon, when until you return to the room I will give this back to you
Teacher!!!
That Artist sense of temperament is a little strange
You have really seen it genuine. Wah! This is not too bad, isn’t that so?
But why does it have to be so long in length
You little brat are you going to spend all night in there?
I am coming!!!!
You little brat, do you need to take half a day to have a bath?
Waiting for you little brat, it really tires me. When you return to the room, you need to cleanse your thoughts
Teacher, please return that to me
This little brat, even this you hate to part to let go. Give this to me?
No…it is not like that
I should go in & bath
Teacher?
Little brat, can you see that they are they waiting for us? You little brat don’t ever have the slight of hind sight
Teacher! Teacher! Teacher!
This is not bad at all. It has many method of usage for this thing. Doesn’t that little brat have 2 pieces?
Chona? Do you really want the Artists to conduct this matter?
If it wasn’t Dan Won, I would have even given any slightest of thought?
Ah Ba Ma Ma (Crown Prince Sado) once taught me. We can’t be too overly excited grasp; however we also can’t allow to slack to rest either.
Chona! I really worry & fear that the 2 Artists may not able to take up the responsibility of the matter
This matter somehow the sooner or later needs to be done
It is so refreshing.
This brat, is your body so filthy that you had to takes so long to have a bath
Yun Bok?
Yes…yes!!
What are you getting so excited about?
I do know that tomorrow we need to carry out the duties as Oh Ji Hwa Sa.
Today you just need your body to be replenished by a good sleep & rest. No need to have any perturbed thoughts
Yes, Teacher you also don’t need to have perturbing thoughts. Please have a good night rest
Fine! Let us sleep
Aigoo! It is so refreshing. This brat, why is your body so filthy …..
Why? Do you feel that Teacher look very smart?
Who is it? Is it you Teacher? What very smart?
Don’t you feel that Teacher is very handsome?
Am I even also very handsome & charming too?
Oh Really! You little brat, how can that shoulders of yours be so narrow?
A man’s glamour, rest on what is said on his shoulders…shoulder.
In….the bodies of a person, the shoulders are the most how many a times that it will receive in close contact. Are you really clear on this?
These shoulders are not just merely to use to shoulder carry sacks of rice.
Don’t you feel that the women folks like to snuggle up & lean against these shoulders, it must definitely need to be comfortable to be slept on?
Do you must have a sense to feel that my shoulder to have felt to have such a charm?
Aigoo! What is there to say in what the man’s charms?
Huh! You little brat
Oh!
How does it feel?
Ah! You? What are you doing, Teacher?
Did it frighten you? You little brat, your courage is really timid.
What kind of woman will like the likes of you as a man who’s courage is so timid?
This is not correct. Isn’t there already such a woman who likes this little brat whose courage is so timid & coward?
Teacher, you just need to worry about yourself?
Ah! Isn’t there a woman that Teacher had already lost touch of her whereabouts for almost 10 years ago?
Aren’t you seeking information of her whereabouts looking for her high & low, I wonder how remarkably beautiful this woman is,
that right until now you are still looking & searching for her information every where?
This matter…..after this don’t just say it in simple passing.
What is Chusan actually thinking about in this matter? Today we must need to grasp hold of this clearly.
He is just young with naïve, so what he is thinking the sense to be strange & intrigue.
Today we must definitely need to ask him to stop this at all cost, isn’t it so?
Yes it is correct. What does he actually wants to do?
Just in case that something might emerge may perhaps be unusual, we must immediately bring out to have this change
Every body need to be cautious. Chusan is not a person that is easily managed
What is the matter?
You can’t see the moonlight, but can only just see the finger pointing
What are you saying? This is…..
You need grasp hold tight of your timing well. I will take my leave
They are really smart, isn’t it?
Keep quiet!
I really hope that I will be able to wear that kind of official robe soon
It is better for Hyung to 1st wear the Bureau Artist Uniform
The announcing of the arrival of Chusan Chona!!!!
Please raise your heads
This time this “Oh Ji Hwa Sa” will be complete & done by only these 2 Artists
What does he meant by that?
Just listen to what he has to say 1st?
Therefore, this chambers will only be left to remained with just “Gua Ra” (Jeongjo) & the 2 Artists, the rest of you please leave this room
But…..Chona
Chona….we the Ministers are really sceptical about these Artists ability to carry out their duties to paint the portrait;
will there be any slip of error or omits, for the sake of the nation, this is an important event, to have defer & vary from proper direction that may in accordance to the rules & customs, it is why we are all sitted here
Therefore we think that we should make our presence felt here.
Of course to manage the state of affairs are the responsibility of the Ministers here.
But I do fear your presence will make the Artist feel nervous & may ruin & damage this portrait painting.
So I have decided that everybody comply to my request
What are you waiting for? Why aren’t you leaving?
This time the Oh Ji Hwa Sa, when this portrait completes, it will be brought out to be evaluated.
Therefore until then, the people present here don’t come to interfere to snoop around for information
Then, this means that we will only get to see this after it is completed? What is this actually?
Wusang Daegam, please think of an idea
We will adhere you request, Chona
Pil Chul!
The both of you, please raise your head
You may have been to Sun Hua Gei to have admire & appreciate the portrait
Yes, Chona
I have profoundly understand that when King elevate to the place of Divinity, he need to go through the ritual of rules & customs,
however that the authenticity to firmly believe that it is really restricted. I feel that they all have a sense of gloomy.
Therefore, the need to pass through this “Oh Ji Hwa Sa” you need to break & smash numerous of the restriction taboos, we need have the whole nation to know proof & testify that the King is also a person of flesh & blood
But there are many people who are paying close attention to this matter, Chona
The portrait is actually the painting of that person, once it is completed,
this portrait will follow me as part of my mandate of power. They will not dare to easily stir matter,
until then, Dan Won & the youngster Artist both of you will have my protection. Please don’t worry.
Then we will commence
The portrait must be drawn that the hands may not be reveal, the hands must be all times be tuck under the sleeves.
This is Joseon that Confucian ideology that governs this nation. Both hands are seen holding one another as a sign of determine stature.
Having left & right must precise balance, the significance is no matter if that person is left right top or bottom,
there is the sense that the King is expecting treat in regardless of class & creed to his entire nation’s citizen.
The face feature must been drawn without any sentiment of emotion to the sense of time passing
Teacher?
Both of the 2 Artists, please draw what you actually see
There are some people who are paying a lot of attention to this competition. It is far than you expected, they are of very high ranking officials.
It's definite that some plan are brewing in there?
Chusan Chona insists in having these Artist to become Oh Ji Hwa Sa, but may have ulterior motives to do something else
What do you think this may be?
If it's not then why just ask the Artists to remain & have us Ministers all being chased out of the chambers.
Why Chona is giving unprincipled protection to those 2 Artists, what is this actually?
According to what Phil Chul’s mere understanding to the matter, this time that the Artists are responsible for this Oh Ji Hwa Sa, have some fatal weakness in them.
Artist Kim Hong Do had committed chaos to Dohwaseo, 10 years ago was exiled to Miu Hyang San.
Moreover, Shin Yun Bok, when he was taking the Bureau Artist exams, he painted obscene & salacious painting that should not be given a “pass”, but yet Chusan personally gave him a “pass” to become a Bureau Artist
Is this true?
It's simple to say, that they are not qualified at all.
What plan can this kind of people together with Chusan scheme?
We need to pay strict & serious observation, is this understood?
Yes, we will do so
There will be a day, when because of reason behind this matter, will enter ourselves in grave danger, however at this moment in time, we need to draw this portrait
Please allow me to wear my “aids”. Chona
You need to sense the significance prior to holding the brush. The facial feature must be thoroughly studied memorising it in our minds before taking a brush
We will commence
Yes
Teacher, your “North Wa” that you had drawn is not so delicate & fine
The 3 chon, the length of it is slightly shorter
It had finally commenced. What other ways are we able to prevent this Oh Ji Hwa Sa from happening?
Pil Chul, during the drawing of the portrait, what colour ingredient is use to paint the imperial robes? Wouldn’t that be “Chu Sul” (cinnabar)?
Yes it is, there is a need to use “Chul Sul” when we need to use the red colour for the imperial robes
What is it then?
Do you have some interesting ideas that comes to mind?
For the Minister who is present here, you may not have any knowledge of this, some of the colours ingredients that the Artist use,
there are some which are more expensive than precious stones that money can’t even buy, is harder to find than the precious stones
Precious stone?
Yes, therefore, if unable to take care of the colour ingredients properly & then it will cause fault on the Artist, then the Artist can no longer complete executing their duties painting the Oh Ji Hwa Sa
What I am saying, isn’t it not true, Pil Chul?
It is really a great idea. But what method is there that they can’t use the “Chu Sul”
That… Pil Chul you need to come up with a method?
What?
Oh Ji Hwa Sa, the most important colour ingredients is yellow & red.
Using whatever the colour ingredients in order in relate to the facial features having radiance & splendour,
the mixing of colours ingredients followS according the influence of the heat being strong or weak. The depth and density will not be the same.
There will be many trial & errors in creating the correct mixture that is most suitable to the colour ingredient.
This way you can created the best outstanding colour ingredient
Oh Ho! It will be hazardous for you to enter in now
Why?
When experimenting mixing ingredients, there are often that the environment will become hazardous.
There are poisonous fumes during the cooking process; there may be fumes that ignite out to be poisonous
Then….how about Young Bok? Isn’t he inside?
He should already know very well that this had its hazardous implications in doing it.
But this is the path he himself had chose
How can this be?
I have already repeatedly reminded him many times. But he doesn’t listen to it. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
That brat is really stupid fool. Aigoo!
Tomorrow we will do is to trace then we are completed, we can commence to start apply colour.
There will a lot of colours ingredients that you will like.
You need to choose the texture requirements then only apply the colours
Teacher? I have something to show you
What do you feel about this?
What is this? Looking at it like that I can’t see what it is?
Please have a look.
Do you feel that the red colour is really genuine authentic?
What is this actually?
Young Bok Hyung Nim created this colour ingredient in Danchongsuo for me.
He heard that I was going to execute the duties as Oh Ji Hwa Sa
Oh Ji Hwa Sa can only use colour ingredients that what Dohwaseo had strictly screen purchase colour ingredients.
The “Sul Chen” is themselves precious stones, so that it can raise the standard of the portrait’s savour & taste.
“Sul Chen” is the purity content that have use numerous materials in creating the colour ingredient
We can’t use others
We just need to make full use of the most appropriate colours, wouldn’t that be fine.
The colour ingredient that utilize precious stones, does that really make the painting vivid & lively?
What you are saying there have some truth? However this reflects on the Royal Household’s honour & glory,
this is what an Artist should be doing is to follow Oh Ji Hwa Sa’s rules & customs.
Should we be the people to change & revolutionise it?
Is doing that alright?
Oh Ji Hwa Sa, have many people paying a close attention to?
If there is the slightest least of fault, we could be surrounded by swords & knife.
Colour ingredient can’t simple casually use.
This matter is very utmost importance with solemn & seriousness.
Should we just use that colour ingredient, what will it be?
Come let’s us go to bed
Yes
Do come in, Chusan
Today you look pleasantly beautiful, Ma Ma
Every day, day & night you are finding things to tease me?
How can this be?
I heard that during Oh Ji Hwa Sa, you asked everybody to screen & clear off from the site
Yes Ma Ma
Such an important matter, are you going to hand this fully to just those mere 2 Artists?
Hare Me (Grandmother) really has her slight concern & worry
Instead of using 100 horses, why don’t we just use one excellent steed that can gallop a thousand miles?
Su Sun (Grandson) do trust & have great confidence in that 2 Artists.
They will surely repay whatever gratitude that I have rendered to them
Is that so? There are times that when trust & confidence can’t just be the only things that can make it happen.
Hare Me is worried about this part of Chusan’s courage & uprightness.
What if this develop to something that is not going to reap benefits, this will ruin your mandate
You are just overly anxious.
Su Sun also have my own personal agenda on this matter, please don’t worry & concern about this matter
However what if that incident do happen, I really do fear that Chusan will have to shoulder that responsibility
Su Sun is full aware of those consequences, Ma Ma
This is really Sachon’s colour ingredients, the colour once looking at it is not the same as others.
If it wasn’t Oh Ji Hwa Sa, we will never get to see these colour ingredients at normal times. What is the total weight?
7 “gong” (catty) & 5 “nyang” (taels)
What are you going to do today?
Yes, Chona. Today we will trace on the sketch to make an outline to apply the colours
I really specially awaiting & expecting this moment.
You may commences
Yes
Crown Prince Sado
Dan Won! Gua Ra (Jeongjo) have a secret that I was unable to tell anyone.
I wish that sooner or later there will be a day that I will able to investigate the truth.
There are times that I want to find someone to share this with.
When I think I want to reveal this secret, what will you do about it?
What secret are you referring to?
A secret that can’t be disclosed to anybody
If you think that the time is right, go & find the whereabouts of that 2 Artist that did the portrait painting.
For the sake of your father’s to absolve & clear your father injustices for wrongful crimes
What painting? What are you referring to? Hare Ba Ma Ma (Grandfather Yeongjo)
I have decree to command 2 Artists, however until now I wasn’t able to get hold of it
What painting is that actually?
It is your father, Crown Prince Sado’s portrait painting
I definitely need to open & unravel the mystery to this secret
Do you believe in this?
The reason behind that Teacher’s death. Can you believe that?
Are you thinking alike?
I have some words that I wish to tell you in private. After the funeral, quickly go to my house
