It's Korean. This art is traceable back to a time when educated people all over East Asia wrote in Chinese. Just like in medieval Europe, when scholars wrote in Latin, no matter their native language.

It seems like some people are confused that the words are written in Chinese characters, yet it is Korean traditional artwork. In ancient time, Korea used to use Chinese characters to write and read but spoke in Korean, which caused confusion and difficulty that led to low literacy rate. Hence, King Sea-jong invented the Korean characters so that the people can just write like how they pronounce. As s proof that the artist is Korean, if you look at 5:41, you can see that he wrote the date and his name 외길 김경호 두손모음, at the corner below where he is drawing clouds.

Hi! The artist in this video is Kyeong-ho Kim. Actually, he is my father. :-) My family live in Seoul, South Korea. If you want to know more about his works, you can visit his web site blog.naver.com/eksrnswkths (p.s. He doesn't know English at all.)

He does an amazing job. To be honest I'd like to learn that art form myself. Typically I draw animals and mythical monsters. This account for KZread I made to show and teach art I do. The wolf icon is a finished drawing actually. xD
Correct if I'm wrong, but the reason why Chinese Characters appear in this work is that Korea (along with China, Japan, and Vietnam) historically used Classical Chinese (NOOOT modern Mandarin Chinese) as the language of formal writing and scholarship. This is analogous to how Latin was used in Europe (e.g. Sir Isacc Newton published his influential work on math and physics in Latin). In the case of Buddhist scriptures and mantras, the ancient Chinese used Chinese characters to approximate the sounds of the Sanskrit language when Buddhism spread into the East (Sanskrit is another influential classical language in which Buddhism was recorded in before entering China). This means the characters themselves don't actually form coherent sentences but do carry the approximated pronunciation of Buddhist mantras. Korea, Japan, and Vietnam initially applied this concept as well to record their own native languages [e.g. Japan's historic use of (万葉仮名)]. However, each country developed its own system for recording its native language instead of using purely Chinese characters to do the task. Classical Chinese was still used for formal writing and the convention of using Chinese characters for sound approximation for Sanskrit still remained for Buddhist mantras I think.

Just relax by watching this clip. Thank you!
Thats insane. The skill/craftmanship involved; must have taken decades to reach that level where you can just freehand it like that.
Absolutely stunning

just wondering, wouldn't the paint on the brush dry very quickly?

watercolor and ink stay wet on the brush for a while. Once it soaks into the paper, it dries more quickly. This gold ink looks like it's mica pigment, maybe, and water mixed with gum arabic to make it adhere to the paper.
