A traditional accordian style book of Buddhist images, the title references the famed Namsam mountain now in Gyeongju National Park, the site of historic Silla period tombs as well as a number of significant Buddhist monuments, many of which are illustrated in this accordion folded book. The sitting stone statue of Buddha in the Mireuk valley, the sitting image of Bodhisattva carved into a stone wall at Sinseonam are two of the designated national treasures. In addition, there are sites of local significance, such as the sitting figure of Sakyamuni carved on a rock in Samneung Valley. This figure is about 7 metres high and about 5 metres wide. It is the biggest sitting statue at Namsam.
