"Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land" is an ink and wash painting created in 1447, when Prince Anpyeong, dreaming of a utopian land, described his vision to Ahn Gyeon, who then painted it. When the painting was completed in just three days, Prince Anpyeong wrote the title and a poem on it, followed by twenty-three others, including Shin Sukju, Kim Jongseo, and Park Paengnyeon, who also inscribed their writings. The artwork is praised for its dramatic contrast between reality and the ideal world of the peach blossom land, while still maintaining a unified atmosphere. However, it currently remains stored in the Central Museum of Tenri University in Japan.
