Yennyeom Mita Dojang Chambeop Volumes 1-5 represent a royal-edition woodblock printing revised by the Imperial Scriptures Publishing Bureau in 1474 (fifth year of King Seongjong) at the behest of Jeong-heui, consort of King Sejong. This comprises one volume of the complete ten-volume two-volume set, covering Volumes 1-5. The Yennyeom Mita Dojang Chambeop constitutes a Buddhist ritual text wherein devotees offer sincere prayers to Amitabha Buddha, confess all karmic transgressions, develop the Bodhisattva resolve, and seek rebirth in the Pure Land. The earliest surviving version of Yennyeom Mita Dojang Chambeop in Korea is the Goryeo edition printed by monks Hye-nang and others in 1376 (second year of King Woo), with the Gobussa copy judged to be from approximately 1474. This edition served as the foundational text for editions subsequently printed in temples nationwide following its publication. The historical significance of Gobussa's Yennyeom Mita Dojang Chambeop Volumes 1-5 lies in the publication records revealing royal sponsors including the consorts In-su-daebi and In-hye-daebi, alongside princesses, court ladies, and other women, as well as princes such as Wolsan-daegoon and Jae-an-daegoon, important high monks of the era including Shinmi, Hak-yeol, and Hak-jo, demonstrating the imperial-led national Buddhist scripture publication project. The woodblock illustrations of the Three Buddhas of past, present, and future were painted by court painters Baek Jong-rin and Yi Jang-son, making them important materials for researching Joseon early-period sculpture, printing, and woodblock printing history with confirmed dates and documented artists.
