Inscription. Click to hear the inscription.

Bullomun is a gate made entirely of a single piece of granite. Translated as the gate of eternal youth, ancient Koreans believed that if you pass through the gate, you will be promised with such fortunes. This Bullomun gate was created to commemorate the Korea-US relationship that 'does not change over time.' The original Bullomun Gate is located in the rear garden of Changdeokgung Palace (UNESCO World Heritage / Seoul, Korea).

불로문은 화강암을 통째로 다듬어 만든 문으로, 옛 한국인들은 이 문을 통과하면 '늙지 않는다'고 믿었다. 이 불로문은 '세월이 흘러도 변치 않는' 한미관계를 기념하며 조성되었다. 원래의 불로문은 창덕궁UNESCO World Heritage /대한민국 서울 후원에 있다.
