On April 23, 2024, the Hwaseong temporary palace, which had been dismantled during the Japanese colonial period, was fully restored to its original form after 119 years. The restoration process involved nine stages of excavation, alongside extensive research in historical documentation, architectural studies, and the preservation and utilization of cultural heritage. However, despite the structure’s prominence with 576 compartments, research on the roof tiles, particularly the roof-end tiles that both protect structural elements and symbolize the grandeur of the Hwaseong temporary palace, remains limited. Prior studies have also failed to clearly address the production period or the evolution of these tiles. This study analyzes roof-end tiles unearthed from Hwaseong temporary palace, focusing on their characteristics, production period, and historical background. It was found that the features of the roof-end tiles from Hwaseong temporary palace closely align with those from palaces and royal tombs constructed or renovated between the 16th and 18th centuries. These stylistic similarities extend to the roof-end tiles used during the late 18th-century construction of Hwaseong temporary palace. The study draws on the 『Hwaseong Seongyeok Uigwe』(Records of Hwaseong Fortress Construction) to investigate why the roof-end tiles of Hwaseong temporary palace were made using central construction techniques. By analyzing the occupations, origins, and names of artisans listed in the 『Hwaseong Seongyeok Uigwe』, and cross-referencing them with artisans mentioned in 18th-century construction records, it was confirmed that many of the craftsmen were independent artisans from Seoul. These artisans appeared repeatedly in documents such as the 『Jangjo Yeonguwon Myosodogam Uigwe』(1762), 『Yeongjo Wonreung Sanneungdogam Uigwe』(1776), 『Gyeongmogung Gaegundogam Uigwe』(1776), and 『Munhyo Sejabin Gonghongundogam Uigwe』(1786). After the dissolution of state-run handicraft systems following the Imjin War(Japanese Invasions of Korea, 1592~1598), many government-affiliated artisans dispersed but continued to participate in the production of roof tiles for palaces, royal tombs, Confucian shrines, and temporary palace. Their involvement in the construction of Hwaseong temporary palace explains the direct transfer of central tile-making techniques and styles to the site. This research establishes the production period of the roof-end tiles at Hwaseong temporary palace, identifying them as products of the initial construction phase. It further elucidates the characteristics of roof-end tiles during the post-Imjin War period to the pre-reconstruction of Gyeongbokgung, a previously under-researched era in the evolution of Joseon-era roof tiles. Additionally, it sheds light on the operational scope of tile-making artisans of the time. These findings are expected to contribute significantly to future restoration efforts of Hwaseong temporary palace and the five major palaces in Seoul.
