The Ten-story Pagoda from Gyeongcheonsa Temple Ice Tray

The Ten-story Pagoda from Gyeongcheonsa Temple was unlawfully taken to Japan during the Japanese colonial period, but it was returned to Korea in 1918. It was reassembled at Gyeongbokgung Palace in 1960, but severe weathering led to it being dismantled in 1995. Following more than a decade of conservation work, the pagoda was restored and reinstalled in 2005 in the Path to History section on the first floor of the National Museum of Korea, coinciding with the museum's reopening at its current Yongsan location.

A silicone ice tray was recently created in commemoration of this historical journey. This multi-functional product can be used to make ice cubes for beverages, of course, but it is also suitable for desserts such as jelly or chocolate. With its three-dimensional form capturing the traditional architecture of Goryeo-era stone pagodas and the Buddhist worldview they reflect, this product offers a unique way to experience the artistry and heritage of this pagoda in everyday life.

Enjoy the presence of the Ten-story Pagoda from Gyeongcheonsa Temple not only along the Path to History, but in your own daily life.
