madmouth commented on the word gwanŭm
the Korean counterpart to the Chinese Guan Yin, goddess of mercy and compassion. in Korea, this is a male deity, but the body shape and attire are totally unchanged. the only addition is an awful, thin little green moustache, which jars ludicrously with the soft curves and flowing robes of the Goddess of Mercy.
