This describes the feature that hermits cross the sea to participate in the Yaochi Feast that Xiwangmu served. The expression of the rocks shows the characteristics of the Jeolpa painting style during the mid-Joseon Dynasty, with contrasting dark ink color against a white margin. However, the large trees feature the light coloring method of the Southern school painting style, which was popular after the 18th century. The people are realistically described in detail, but the rocks and trees are painted in bold brushstrokes on the big screen, in contrast with the people. There is an epilogue written by Lee Ga-won on the top left of the screen. The feature of the hermits crossing the sea is broadly described on the large screen.
