Abstract: Sinsunsasang was deeply influenced to the Korean traditional garden cultures. Among them, Gwanghwallu pavilion is the most distinct and famous garden which was constructed in Josun Dynasty as a villa for an official. There are various evidences of the longing for immortality such as among islets in the pond and many poems, depicting the world of immortality and paintings on the buildings. We can find a clear imaginary environment in the garden which has been disappeared recently by monotheism of Western Judeo-Christian.
