Muamsa, located on Geumsusan (mountain), was built by the Great Buddhist Master Uisang (625–702) during the Silla Dynasty (661–681). Originally named Murimsa, was later renamed Muamsa because it seemed to disappear whenever a thick mist surrounded it. Geukrakbojeon, the present sanctuary, is confirmed to have been built in 1740 durring the Late Joseon Period, and the wooden seated statue of Buddha it houses was presumably made at the same time. The wooden seated statue of Buddha enshrined in the sanctuary is relatively well preserved, having recently been re-gilded when Gukrak Pavilion was refurbished. The Buddha statue is a comparatively large wood sculpture while the two hands were made separately and attached. On the head is clay hair in the shape of a trumpet shell while the wide face has a friendly facial expression. Jecheon Muamsa Temple Wooden Seated Statue of Amitabha Buddha is Provincial Tangible Cultural Asset #214.
